Instalé GDB 7.8.1 y GCC 4.9 a través de Homebrew.

Cuando abro un archivo central generado por un compilado de GCC (gcc-4.9 -g xxx.c -o xxx) programa, informa:

→  gdb ./list_test /cores/core.1176

"/cores/core.1176": no core file handler recognizes format

Busqué en Google y encontré a alguien sugerido para usar LLDB en lugar de GDB.

¿Es posible usar GDB para depurar el archivo principal? ¿Y es porque GDB no admite el formato binario en Yosemite?
