See attached excel, with
- various fpc,
- stabs or any dwarf
- various gdb

it needs  dynarray^[index]

EXCEPT: dwarf3 + gdb7.3.2
- an anonymously declared dyn-array    (var VarDynIntArrayA: Array of 
Integer;)
     -data-evaluate-expression VarDynIntArrayA[1]
    returns a SINGLE value: ^done,value="22476996"

- a named type dyn array    (type TDynIntArray = Array of Integer;)
     -data-evaluate-expression VarDynIntArray[1]
    returns a SINGLE value: ^done,value="9"

both values make no sense at all => they are not in the list

see attached, while a normal array return a list of values (except gdb 
7.0): ^done,value="{10, 12, 14, 16, 18}"
a dyn array returns a pointer, or empty list:   ^done,value="0x775d0"   
      ^done,value="{}"
