I think this is due to non-ASCII characters in your file names, as
evidenced by this:

> error in process filter: Quit [2 times]
> Bad JSON object: ",", 34
> WARNING! Discarding GDB handler with token #28

Does it help to set gdb-mi-decode-strings to 'utf-8'?

If this doesn't help, would it be feasible for you to try the current
master branch of the Emacs Git repository?  I think this issue got a
thorough treatment there.
