The Mach-O part does work in 7.0, thanks to Tristan and AdaCore (check 
out gdb/machoread.c).  I don't think fatness-handling is there, although 
at the Xcode level one has to specifically ask for fat builds anyway, so 
one could avoid that particular obstacle and thus be well-positioned to 
smack one's face into the next wall. :-)
