It's better not to use stabs.

You're using an old version of gcc and an amazingly old version of gdb.

Using more current versions makes your test case work for me.  So the
simple answer is that you are probably seeing a bug that was fixed
sometime in the last 6 years (gcc) or 9 years (gdb).

Offhand I don't know what the bug might be.
