Re: gdb darwin target on Linux host?

gdb version is 6.3.50.20050815-cvs)

"Patched" is, shall we say, an understatement. :-)

however I do not want to debug natively (or my question here would be
pointless), I want to cross-debug using a Linux host.

So, uh, once you get the executable read in, how exactly do you expect to remote-control execution from Linux-land? Is there a Darwin GDBserver or equivalent that I don't know of? There is a kernel debugging setup, but it's not useful for apps.
