There are things that won't work with gdb and dmd on Mac OS X due to a 
bug in dmd. dmd outputs incorrect DWARF section names, or something like 
that.

 There are things that won't work with gdb and dmd on Mac OS X due to a

No, it outputs correct section names now, there's some other issue.

I've tried to track it down but can't find it. One obvious missing step 
is that dmd doesn't currently use dsymutil to generate a dsym file - 
there's no point it doing this though currently as dsymutil crashes on 
binaries produced by dmd. There's something else missing or broken in 
dmd's DWARF output causing dsymutil to crash.

Ah, that's good.
