This is because gdb 5.1/5.0 do not support the DW_FORM_strp that gcc now generates. In the past, a gdb without Ada support could be used to, at least, see the source. However, we are now in this sad situation where this is no longer possible because now gdb complains at unknown languages and... stops.
