FWIW GDB (and GCC) support on Mac will be dying out in the very near future. The current shipping version of Xcode (3.2) uses the GCC 4.2 runtime as the system default, but with LLVM/Clang 1.5 (aka Clang-60 http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-60/) and LLVM/Clang 2.0 (which probably will be based on LLVM 2.8) looks like it will be the default for the next big release.

GDB is being replaced with LLDB http://lldb.llvm.org/ and though I imagine GCC 4.2 (with GDB 6.3) will stay on for a while, I doubt that Apple's GCC will be updated again.
