Default gdb can't read symbol table (Dwarf Error)

Even for a trivial C program which I compile with gcc -g, and which runs
well, I can not access the symbol table with gdb. When I run gdb on the
executable, it complains

Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader

and when I ask gdb to set a breakpoint on main (for instance), it says that
"main" was not found.

The same happens when I compile with -ggdb instead of -g!

I'm using gcc 3.2 and gdb 3.1
