They have the only port of GDB to Mac OS X; anyone else could have done one, but no one did. They seem to want to contribute it back, too. They just never have time. This is partly because of the immense schedule pressure at Apple. It's also partly because of how much work it is to contribute to GDB. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
