One of the major problems of debugging GCC 4.3 code with such an old
GDB is that GDB 5.3 doesn't handle location lists (assuming that
the debugging info is DWARF). That may be your problem.

Paul provided a lot of very good advice.  If that doesn't work, you
might want to try the current CVS HEAD or our latest release, which
is 6.8. I'm seeing a lot of hard work being done by several contributors
towards 7.0 as well which hopefully we'll release before June this year.
