No. The platform-specific bits necessary to make GDB work as a native
debugger on Darwin are rather complicated, and have never been gotten to
work in FSF GDB. (I got partway there once, tree is still on my disk
somewhere.) You should be able to build cross debuggers targeting
embedded systems though, I do that regularly.
