GDB behaves strange with DMD

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to debug programs compiled with DMD using GDB.
My dmd version is 2.074.1, gdb version is 7.11.1, operating
system is Ubuntu 16.04.
I have this little helloworld.d:
import std.stdio;
void main() {
auto a = 5;
writeln("Hello, world!");
foreach (i; 0 .. 5)
a = a + i;
writeln("aaaaaaaa");
writeln(a);
}
Then I compile it with tag -g and when I try to debug it with
GDB, I get this: pastebin.com/GJD7q9XM
As you see, GDB seems to have wrong info about line numbers.
When I compile it with tag -gc, it's basically all the same
except I need to write 'list _Dmain' in order to access the
source code from gdb:
pastebin.com/5TkqxEvu
In bigger projects current line in GDB can jump all over the
place without any obvious logic.
Do you have any ideas how to fix it?
Thank you.
