No. The platform-specific bits necessary to make GDB work as a native 
debugger on Darwin are rather complicated, and have never been gotten to 
work in FSF GDB. (I got partway there once, tree is still on my disk 
somewhere.) You should be able to build cross debuggers targeting 
embedded systems though, I do that regularly.
