I'm working with C++ now using RTEMS 4.6.0 with gdb-5.2 and gcc-3.2.3,
and having the same problems.  (I don't get a message about floating
point, I just get "no locals" or "no matching symbol in this scope".)
It doesn't want to show me class member variables most of the time
either, but explicity prefixing the variable with "this->" usually
gets around that.

I found a post on some gcc mailing list which claimed that there were
known problems with C++ support and this particular combination of
gdb and gcc version.  I'm too deep in development to think about
changing tool versions right now, so I'm just dealing with it for the
time being.
