GDB 17.1 / Linux setting limits for the debugged process?

Hello all,

(this is motivated by https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/issues/30 - a bug in a GPL licensed inference engine project coded in C++)

Using GDB 17.1 on an open source software compiled by GCC 16 snapshot (or latest GCC 15) on a Debian/Linux desktop (or laptop), 
how can I set limits (in the https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrlimit.2.html sense, for elapsed CPU time limit)
on the debugged process, but not on the GDB 17.1 debugging process?

Regards

PS. Maybe such hint might be useful in the documentation. I am French so not at ease in writing English
