gdb will only work with gcc that has been configured to emit GNU-style a.out
files and using the GNU assembler and GNU ld (ie GNU binutils). You have to 
get these bits working before getting gdb to work.

PS: if you intend to use gcc 1.39.0 and g++ 1.39.0 get gdb 3.91.4 (alpha
    release of gdb 4.0)
