Which version of Tramp do you use? I would expect that you need Tramp
2.1; Tramp 2.0 (as offered by Debian) is not sufficient AFAIK.

I also remember some tuning in Emacs 23 wrt cooperation of gdb and
Tramp. Nick shall know it better than I do :-) but likely Emacs 23 is
the best choice for this task.
