I would like to use GDB 4.18 with GCC 3.3.6 and possibly even newer

Have you tried using stabs instead of dwarf? -gstabs+ on the compiler command line. Stabs has many problems, but rapid advancement of the debug format is not among them. :-)

We're still using stabs here at Apple. It's a drag for some C++ things, but otherwise not unlivable. Of course we hope to migrate to DWARF, but most stuff works fine with stabs.
