Ok all, this is a bug I already hit so I can help you on this: this
comes
from Mandrake 7.0. For whatever reason, they compiled a strange GDB
which
carries a date instead of a version number. I guess that this may be an
internal build that should not have made it to the final release.

In order to get the debugger back in KDevelop, you must recompile GDB
4.18
from the sources. I did not explore the problem in detailn, but just
recompiling GDB worked for me.

Hope this helps,
Florent.
