IRIX64 version 6.5 in SGI Fuel workstation (mips-sgi-irix6.5)

Compiling a debug target using GCC version 3.2.2 with '-g3' compiler option causes the debugger to crash with 'gdb-internal-error: macro_bcache_free: Assertion '! t->bcache' failed.' after issueing the command 'info line main'. The debug target code is just a simple C 'Hello world!' program,
>How-To-Repeat:
Build debug target with gcc -g3
Open with GDB debugger 5.3

Use GDB version 5.2.1. Problem doesn't exist with this version
