If you need to find out thinks yourself => e.g how different versions of 
gdb handle different things:

debugger/tests/GDBMI/RunGDBMI.lpi

look into TestBase.pas => how to configure a list of fpc and gdb 
versions (so you will be offered more than the one currently used in 
Lazarus).

The RunGDBMI.exe compiles a pascal source, that you can select, then you 
enter one or more gdb commands, and it will be run against every 
combination of fpc/gdb/stabs/dwarf

using CSF and strip-echo, you can copy and paste the result into 
excep/oo-calc => and have a nice table of all the results.
