I ran your example and got:

Current directory is /gapps/codes/dobby/db/

Reading symbols from /store/apps/codes/dobby/db/foo...done.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40058e: file foo.c, line 4.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /store/apps/codes/dobby/db/foo

Breakpoint 1, main () at foo.c:4
(gdb) p a
$1 = ""
(gdb) p &a[0]
$2 = 0x7fffffffe0b0 "foo bar baz"
(gdb)

I will submit this to the Ubuntu folks.
