You can't use gdb 5.0 with gcc 3.0 snapshots and expect it to work. GDB 5 was
released before gcc 3.0 even branched, and doesn't have support for
the newer demangling style.

Use a newer gdb (like a snapshot), and it should work fine.

Once again, you have to quote it to get completion to work in 5.0.
It's a bug that's particularly heinous to fix in a clean way.
