Answer 1

I upgraded to gdb 8.3 and was not able to make things working. This helped me:

codesign --entitlements gdb.xml -fs gdb-cert /usr/local/bin/gdb

Where content of gdb.xml is:

    com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit
    
    com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory
    
    com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables
    
    com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation
    
    com.apple.security.cs.disable-executable-page-protection
    
    com.apple.security.cs.debugger
    
    com.apple.security.get-task-allow
    

I found this solution here: https://timnash.co.uk/getting-gdb-to-semi-reliably-work-on-mojave-macos/

Note: Without the entitlement I was able to run gdb only with sudo.
