Messed up debug symbols GDB/GDC

Hey so I recently got back into D a bit, but I'm having a bit of 
trouble with debugging.

So for this minimal test file:

void main()
{
     int x = 5;
     int y = x * 20;


     float b = 6.7432143;

     b *= 2;

}

Compiled with gdc (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3) 7.2.0
$ gdc -g test.d -otest

I get this output in gdb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(gdb) b main

Sometimes if I reformatted the text, it would print a random 
line, such as 'b *= 2'
but it was more less random.

I also did try forcing different dwarf versions, but it was the 
exact same result.


If I need to post anymore info please let me know.
Thanks!
