Also check for console messages from gdb.
There are some known bugs in the shipping gdb that will make it crash
when debugging certain mach-o binaries.

I am not able to debug Mach-O targets only. All other targets debug
fine. When I try to debug, nothing happens. It just stops without
doing anything (no warnings/errors). There's no crash or anything like
that.

I have reinstalled developer tools but it didn't fix this.

Sorry, I forget which cat is which X Version. (aren't these just for
beta versions anyway). Anyway

If you are on 10.3.x you need to install the XCode tools not the
Developers Tools.

If you are on 10.2.x You need to install the developers tools AND you
need to get the updated GDB from Apple and install that.

If you have the wrong tools / gdb installed you get this error.

Finally in addition you may need to reinstall CodeWarrior after the
Tools and vice versa or even reboot. Sometimes it takes one of them to
Jog the system. (Don't ask me why, I just know it is a not so rare
quirk)
