gcc weirdness

What am I missing here?

Let we have a function called popup(). Inside this function there is
this code:

list = get_children(ds, x, TYPE_ELEMENT);

gdb shows these values:

(gdb) print ds
$46 = (Type *) 0x1

(gdb) print x
$47 = 0x86adb80

So far, everything is fine. Now, let step down one frame in gdb:

(gdb) down
#5 0x0808b807 in get_children(ds=0x86adb80, node=0x1, tag_type=TYPE_E...

In the source, there is a

GList* get_children (Type* ds, PtrNode node, enum Types tag_type) {

Do you see ds and node values swapped? The program crashes because of
this swapping. What is wrong? I use gcc-3.3.1 on today's -CURRENT.
