This is a known problem.  GDB was compiled with long double support 
disabled (by a sad omission).

You can do it yourself, if you need it badly enough.  Download the sources
(v2gnu/gdb416s.zip), edit the file gdb/config.h to change this line: 

	/* #undef HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE */

into this:

	#define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE 1

then build gdb, and live happily ever after!
