Again, you really have to qualify your statement with which version
of Darwin you are using.
I believe that you are using Snow Leopard whereas things to be OK
on Leopard. The problem on Snow Leopard seems to be coming from
the fact that the method for giving GDB the priviledges it needs
in order to debug the program have changed. AdaCore is planning on
looking at that, eventually, but we just won't have the resources
to do so for at least a few weeks.
