I only now realise what you mean. So gdb has a sub-dir with binutils and
with bfd. Since all the tools are actually available with Apple's gdb,
why do they not come with Xcode? I suppose my best bet would be to
download the source of Apple's gdb and use the binutils in there.

Is that a reasonable approach?

Thanks,
Axel.
