These are old tools.  You should definitely consider upgrading to the
latest releases before considering this to be a real problem.

Since this appears to be a gdb problem, you ought to report it to the
gdb mailing list:

DWARF is a debug format.  You can find information about it at this
web site:

Are you running the graphical version of GDB ?  If so, you may find
tha you have more luck running the command line based one instead.
Try starting GDB with the -nw switch.
