In practice, that is mostly useful for using different versions/releases 
of Apple's GDB, or for cross development.  The --arch issue is just the 
tip of the iceberg of problems you are likely to experience with trying 
to use FSF GDB.  The command set is different, output from commands is 
different, and Xcode has lots of assumptions about what the debugger can 
do, especially for the native case.
