Overwriting the GDT should be fine because we don't reload the segments,

Interrupts are disabled so that should not cause a problem.
Why do you think the current behaviour is a problem?
just think if GDT should not be overwriten when we are still under

didn't have chance to test that in HDT or other debug device, when
setting breaking point after that GDT is overwriten.
