I can, on Windows. And, as I've just learned in the chat, it's also 
possible do debug console applications on Linux, at least as long as no 
console input is required. For that purpose Lazarus has to be started 
from a console, which then will receive all output, from Lazarus, 
debugger and debugged application. A bit weird, but at least I now can 
single step also on Linux :-)

After some more assistance I could make at least 32 bit console apps 
work with the 32 bit debugger on Win7/64. I wonder what's the problem 
with the 64 bit gdb. Both say they are mingw apps, and the 64 bit 
debugger also works with Lazarus 0.9.28 and fpc 2.2.4, but not with 2.4 
or 2.5 :-(
