I have not tried the latest gdb package, but for as long as I've been
using gdb, M-x gdb always displayed the source, just as Neal says.
I've never used gdbsrc (explicitly, anyway) and didn't know of its
existence until now.

Yes. Does that matter? I don't use the Sun sparcworks/XEmacs
debugger integration. (Users here report that it eventually crashes
xemacs.)
