Oh, I'm sure there are lots. Some are gdb varients, some not. For example, do you consider ROM monitors used in many embedded eval boards? There are many of these. For example, I've think I've run into 4 or 5 different 'bug' implementations in the Motorola world (both 68k and powerpc). When I worked at Data General, 10 years ago, I recall that there were something like 5 different inhouse debuggers in the mainline OS, at least one of which they had lost the sources to years before. -- Michael Meissner, Red Hat, Inc.
