In general, whenever GDB can make any sense from a C++ program, you 
should be grateful, since any serious debugging of C++ code without
dwarf2 debug info is pretty much broken.

Hopefully, DJGPP will support dwarf2 in some not-too-distant future.

I guess so.

Try compiling and linking with -gstabs+ instead of -gstabs.  If that 
doesn't help, I think you will have to resort to printf-style debugging.
