Or build with the old dwarf format, which gdb-6.8 understands:
-gdwarf-3 -gstrict-dwarf

gcc-4.5 uses dwarf4 features, gcc-4.3 and gdb-6.8 only understand dwarf3.

Within my perl config:
# cygwin still has the old gdb-6 debugger which does not understand
dwarf4 features from gcc-4.5
if ($Config{gccversion} =3D~ /^4\.[56]\./) {
    my $gdb_ver =3D `gdb --version`;
    if ($gdb_ver =3D~ /gdb 6\./) {
        print "Adding extra_cflags=3D-gstrict-dwarf for gcc-4.5 for a
gdb-6 debugger which does not understand dwarf4 features\n";
        $extra_cflags .=3D " -gstrict-dwarf";
    }
}
