No problem here.
gdb 7.6.1-1
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

Perhaps you should start with some basic steps.
Are you using any repos beyond the 3 basic ones (core, extra, community) ?
Re-install gdb the "hard" way:
pacman -Suy
pacman -R gdb
pacman -S gdb
find /etc -iname "*.pac*"
Verify dependencies:
pacman -Qi gdb
Verify:
$ ls -al /usr/bin/gdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4634932 Aug 31 06:13 /usr/bin/gdb
$ ldd /usr/bin/gdb
linux-gate.so.1 (0xb77b0000)
libreadline.so.6 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6 (0xb775b000)
libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7756000)
libncursesw.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb76f7000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb76e0000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb769a000)
libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb767d000)
libpython2.7.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 (0xb74e5000)
libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb74bc000)
liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5 (0xb7495000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb72e5000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77b1000)
libutil.so.1 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb72e0000)
$
Verify:
$ cat /etc/gdb/gdbinit
$ mv .gdbinit .gdbinit-save
You can try debugging gdb itself first:
$ gdb gdb
or
$ strace gdb
