I see that Apple has a GDB snapshot (not 5.1), that has support for Objective C.
I have not tried it.

  http://sources.redhat.com/gdb

I use an unmodified GDB 5.1.1.  GDB 5.1.1 lacks Objective C support.
However, converting between C and Objective C is not complicated.  Method calls
are like function calls with a encoded name.  The calling convention
is that the first argument is the target object and the second argument
is the selector (the method that was fired).  The remaining arguments are
the arguments passed to the method.
