The command you want is "mock --shell", I think.  See the mock manpage.

Don't forget to install gdb, required debuginfo packages, etc into the
chroot beforehand.  Just like other mock subcommands, mock shell locks
the chroot so that other mock commands can't be applied till you exit
the shell.  I always find that to be a PITA, but especially so when
I forget a package I'm going to need.
