I noticed this also.  It seem to be an issue with GDB not being able to
parse GCC's debug info and it seems like regression in GCC rather than GDB.

See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462882

A current workaround would be to:

set language objective-c

explicitly, as suggested by Daniel.

I haven't had the resources to investigate the exact commit that caused
the regression yet.

Cheers,
David
