It can be the way you compiled/linked your program or a series of
other reasons.  There is not much information above.
Maybe you should post pieces of console output with the relevant 
information (the output of "gcc -v", your compilation command and 
any messages printed by gcc, etc).

BTW, which host are you running gdb on? Which OS version, libraries...

If I am not mistaken, there were a series of fixes and improvements
to GDB RDI after 5.0 came out.  I am not sure that they can make any
difference to your case, but maybe you should consider switching to
more recent sources.
