You current problem is not related to the GDB locale.

GDB crashes while reading the debug info (dwarf or stabs, whatever you 
used / maybe even mixed).

This problem exists in all GDB versions that I know.

I can not tell if it is a GDB (it should be an error not a crash) only 
issue, or part FPC or linker (maybe there is invalid encoding, maybe not...)

This means it can not be fixed in Lazarus. Once it is known which part 
in the info is causing the crash, it can either be avoided by FPC 
(unless it is the linker) or needs to be fixed in GDB.
