I haven't seen that problem. As I said, all GDB tests pass when compiled with 
"-O3 -g".

The fact that these GDB tests are not run in any CI build is bad. For example, 
we had a buildbot failure after merging PEP 590 because of this. We should try 
to catch test breakage as early as possible, the buildbot should be the last 
resort.
