Weird gdb problem

I seem to have broken the debuginfo from gcj. 
When I step into a Java method I don't get info about args passed to
methods. But this is only for debuginfo compiled into libgcj -- when
I compile a test case myself I get correct args displayed. As in this
one, where I step into p.p(), the argument "this" is displayed:
(gdb) s
p.p() (this=@2aaaad588e30) at Hello.java:7
(gdb) 
0x00002aaaac057820 in java.lang.Object.Object() ()
 at /mnt/zebedee/aph/gcc/gcj-eclipse/libjava/java/lang/Object.java:360
Note that the first step gave the value of the "this" argument, and
the second one (in libgcj) didn't. Continuing:
(gdb) 
java.io.PrintStream.println(java.lang.String)void ()
 at /mnt/zebedee/aph/gcc/gcj-eclipse/libjava/java/io/PrintStream.java:482
(gdb) info args
No arguments.
So, to recap: I get values of args to methods displayed in gdb, but
only when I compile test cases. When stepping into libgcj itself, the
values of args aren't displayed.
So ... might anyone in gdb land like to guess how this might have broken?
