Dennis,

The last I heard, Objective-C support has not made it into the main line of 
gdb code.  My most recent patches are for 5.0 and, sad to say, they aren't 
complete.  In the process of updating the 4.17 patches to 4.18 to 5.0, some 
parts wouldn't apply.  When the fix was obvious, I made it.  However, when 
I couldn't figure how to make a skipped piece fit, it got left out.   The 
end result is a usable gdb-5.0-objc which is most likely missing little 
bits of Objective-C support.

Given Apple's release of their gdb modifications and the likelihood of 
their being applied to the gdb tree _some_day_, I haven't made any further 
efforts.  AFAIK, gdb-5.1 doesn't include Objective-C support and there is 
no patch for gdb-5.1-objc.
