float A[6][5];

As Joern says:  You can't have array arguments.

And as I said:  The two declarations should generate the *same*
(or at least equivalent) debug info.  If not, I doubt you will
get much help from the Gdb people until that is fixed.

Variable-length arrays (especially variable-length array arguments)
are a differnet complication.  There is no real support for that
in stabs or Gdb, though the Motorola did implement some gross
hacks to handle some of the cases.  To handle variable-length
arrays, my incination would be to give up on stabs, and try to
design a clean solution using dwarf2.
