You need to patch the DJGPP debugger support and go32targ.c from GDB.
Roberth Hoehne has posted the necessary patches here in the past.
Those patches are already incorporated into RHIDE and RHGDB, so if
it's a one-shot job, you might as well just use RHGDB instead of
downloading GDB sources and rebuilding it.

DJ, is it hard to make djgpp-workers archives available for searching
through the Web?  I understand that the mail gets accumulated, but I
couldn't find a way to search it, and sometimes I need to look for
past correspondence here.
