Answer 1

I made gdb work on OSX 10.9 without codesigning this way (described here):

1. Install gdb with macports. (may be you can skip it)

2. sudo nano /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist

   change option string from -s to -sp at line 22, col 27.

3. Reboot the computer.

4. Use gdb. If you installed it with mac ports then you must use ggdb command. Or made an alias in your config file:

alias gdb='ggdb'

and use 'gdb' command then.
