How do you restart the debug session? I use the "file" command, and it
works fine for me with gdb 6.8 on i386 and 6.6 on arm.

I think it depends on how you add breakpoints. If you use the file:line
syntax or absolute addresses, I don't think there's much gdb can do to
find out where the position you want is located in the new version. Most
of the time I use breaking on functions specified by name; these work
for me. gdb 6.8 shows the old line number in "info break", but seems to
break in the right location.
