gdb-5.x and step over inline functions

Is there any way to step over inline functions
when using gdb >= 5.1 ? Some (commandline or other)option
perhaps?

gdb-5.0 works as expected, but now I have problem
with gcc >= 3.x because gdb-5.0 won't work with binaries
compiled by gcc-3.x; when I start gdb, it only says:

...Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.

And if I use gdb-5.1 (/gdb-5.1-20020124) it shows
internals of inline-functions which is really annoying,
turning gdb-5.1 to almost useless tool!

I have used gcc option "-g3" with compilations and
my host/target arch is GNULinux-alpha (ev56/ev67) but
I think that this "step over inline functions" problem
exist on other archs too.
