http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html says:

"GCC now generates unwind info also for epilogues. DWARF debuginfo
generated by GCC now uses more features of DWARF3 than before, and
also some DWARF4 features. GDB older than 7.0 is not able to handle
either of these, so to debug GCC 4.5 generated binaries or libraries
GDB 7.0 or later is needed."

And AFAIK the same is true for 4.6
