Apparently, there has been some efforts by Tristan Gingold to make
GDB
7.1 work on Mac. If someone wants to take the ball (I don't have
a Mac)
and see if it truly works, I believe we could have a very
interesting
debugging solution for Mac.
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.
But regardless what Apple want to do with their toolchain, there's
a whole
bunch of volunteers just recently begun very actively working on
upgrading
upstream GCC and GDB to work well on darwin, so Apple's policy
shouldn't
necessarily guide Eclipse; it's very likely that in the next release
or two,
FSF versions will be working well again on Apple hosts.

And there is always IDB from Intel which works _very_ well. Just need
a bit of Eclipse/OS X integration. Wink Wink Intel.. ;-)
