Well, for the issue you reported specifically, please see the patch I
sent here, I think it fixes it:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-June/180396.html

But there were other bugs reported on Bugzilla for macOS, they might
affect you as well. If you stumble on one of them, you could try to
write a fix for it and send a patch to the gdb-patches list, so that it
gets reviewed and eventually merged.
