A frequent cause of this problem is different patch levels of
libraries installed on the two systems.  If they don't exactly match,
you need a copy on the host of the target's libraries, and to use set
sysroot.  Otherwise GDB may place internal breakpoints in the wrong
locations, leading to mayhem.

Also, this is a very old GDB - I always recommend trying the latest
(GDB and gdbserver).
