It turns out that the solution to running
FSF gdb on darwin9.8.0 or darwin10 is trivial.
There is a gap in the codesigning for gdb
apparently. The user just has to do...
chgrp procmod fsf-gdb
chmod g+s fsf-gdb
on the installed FSF gdb binary. This
will gain it access to the required Mach
port without having to resort to sudo.
Nice.

If you find it worthwhile, you might want to expand a bit the short
paragraph that talks about setgid procmod/procview by providing
the exact set of commands (we've been using it for quite some time,
now).

Jack,
do not hesitate to expand the wiki page.
We have used both methods and both have their pros and cons.

Note that the "procmod" method is deprecated by the security folks. They haven't removed it yet, but they threaten to... The code-signing is the preferred method. Not sure why it isn't working for you, however.
