Make sure you use -g both when compiling and linking, and that you do NOT

Even a lazy person should read the chapter about debugging in the DJGPP 
FAQ list.  Have you read it?  If not, get the file v2/faq201b.zip from 
the same place you get DJGPP, and read chapter 12 there.  It explains 
some of the common problems people (who don't read the FAQ) have with 
gdb.
