This above means gdb did not totally _fail_, it just doesn't have
debug information for that DLL. You can still use it to debug your
code.
gdb has not yet been taught how to understand Microsoft debugging
format, and probably never will.
So the "remedy" is to just ignore these messages, and keep on going.
