Actually, it's been failing for me for a maybe related reason:

(gdb) start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048ad0: file b~null_record.adb, line 99.
Starting program: /opt/src/binutils/x86-as/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/null_record 
main (argc=1, argv=(system.address) 0xbffff524, envp=(system.address) 0xbffff52c) at b~null_record.adb:99
99            Ensure_Reference : System.Address :=
Ada_Main_Program_Name'Address;
(gdb) PASS: gdb.ada/null_record.exp: start
ptype empty
type = function return int
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/null_record.exp: ptype on null record

This is OK.
