This message means that the compiler has emitted debugging information
GDB doesn't know how to read. (Or the compiler could be broken, or
GDB could be misreading correct debug info.) If you set a breakpoint
on the appropriate 'complaint' call in dbxread.c:read_dbx_symtab and
'print namestring' when you get there, what does it say?
