If you get the Darwin 1.3 GDB from Apple's open source area, it's
based on post-5.0 FSF sources and has all the ObjC support too.  In
theory the Darwin GDB will build and run on other platforms, dunno
how much that has been tried though.  At some point our GDB guys are
supposed to get their changes into FSF GDB, but they still have a
pretty heavy support burden to keep up with.  (We have an opening
for a hacker/manager type to help fill the gap, spread the word.)
