Btw that is dwarf 2  (dwarf 3 is likely going to make it worse)
Dwarf 2 + sets, is the recommended one.

There is a wiki http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips

You can run the testcase (components/gdbmidebugger/test)
That includes some tests, that will crash some versions of gdb. (but be 
fine on others).
(You may or may not have to create the config files (see in folder) to 
run the test / and there is no real benefit in running it, other than if 
you want to analyse thinks in more detail....)
