First guess is that they are not put in the same. Like one is releative
and the other not. 

Second guess it's indeed not gcc but gdb and the difference comes from
gdb treating .h differently from .tcc (and before you say that's
impossible, check e.g. find_last_source_symtab_from_partial or
select_source_symtab implementation).
