That's true. The only thing concerns me about that, is there's no
really a standard in GDB (i can be wrong). But I've seen a lot of
issues in Lazarus gdb-support, because of the different builds of GDB
used.

Also, IRC, Apple forked gdb (as well other gnu-tools) to make it
usable for their own needs (iDevice debugging support).
I'm not sure, if the latest changes of gdb are there in the Apple gdb,
I would assume they're there.

thanks,
Dmitry
