Just to be clear, if I add...

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-09/msg00430.htm

to gdb cvs on x86_64-apple-darwin, I still see the warnings...

Reading symbols from /Users/howarth/a.out...
warning: dsym file UUID doesn't match the one in /Users/howarth/a.out

warning: section __DATA.__common not found in /Users/howarth/himenoBMTxpa.o
(no debugging symbols found)...done.

but I also see...

(gdb) break 4
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000154c: file himenoBMTxpa.c, line 4.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /Users/howarth/a.out
Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 154: (os/kern) failure (0x5).
(please check gdb is setgid procmod)
(gdb)

So it seems like breakpoints can be set but their is a setgid problem.
