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. :-)
