It's not in the gdb script, it's in gdb proper. If you care to have a peek, look at /* Handles single stepping of atomic sequences. */ set_gdbarch_software_single_step (gdbarch, ppc_deal_with_atomic_sequence); in gdb/rs6000-tdep.c. It ought to be fairly easy to write something similar for alpha-tdep.c. r~
