This depends on the specific version of gcc. My notes say:

# MinGW gcc-3.4.2 writes dwarf2 debug records if '-ggdb' is specified,
# but the version of gdb packaged with it expects stabs format.

and, IIRC, stabs was the default for MinGW gcc versions
before and after gcc-3.4.2 (unless you downloaded a special
dwarf2 version, or built one yourself).

You had said you're using "GNU gdb 5.2.1". That's pretty
old. There have been discussions of different 6.x versions
here in the past week or two, and I'd guess that this one
  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gdb-6.6.tar.bz2
might be the most robust.
