gcc-2.95.1 & gdb-4.18: can't look at array elements?

[philipj@aals27.alcatel.com.au]

posting to both groups because don't know if problem is gcc generating wrong
debug info or gdb wrongly interpreting the info. system is sparc-solaris-2.7.

~/tmp $ cat tmp.c
int
main()
{
        int A[2];

        A[0] = 1;
        A[1] = 2;
}
~/tmp $ gcc -gstabs tmp.c
~/tmp $ gdb a.out

(gdb) tb 8
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10550: file tmp.c, line 8.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /users7/philipj/tmp/a.out 
main () at tmp.c:8
8       }
(gdb) p A
$1 = {1, 2}				<<<< can see whole array ok
(gdb) p A[0]
Cannot access memory at address 0x0.	<<<< but not individual elements
(gdb) p A[1]
Cannot access memory at address 0x1.	<<<< but not individual elements
(gdb) quit
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y

get same behaviour with -gstabs+, -gdwarf & -gdwarf-2
