The newest version of gdb, gdb-20060706, does not work correctly with 
Eclipse-3.2 + CDT-3.02 (C/C++ plug-in). The problem is that the source 
code files are not found by gdb during debug sessions. I tried several 
different methods to force gdb to associate the source files without 
success. After replacing the new version with gdb-20041228, the Eclipse 
debugger worked properly, including no trouble displaying source files.

If I had to guess, the recent changes to gdb to make it work with the 
Insight debugger broke some compatibility mode with other debuggers, 
including Eclipse. In any case, gdb needs to be fixed.
