Anyone ever tried to build Apple's gdb (which supports ObjC very good) on 
Linux? It is available in the Darwin CVS repository 
(http://www.opensource.apple.com/cgi-bin/registered/cvs/gdb/ or usual 
CVS), the only thing you have to do is to register as a developer with 
apple (Online membership is free).
