No, but to be fair, that's not hooked up to work on a native MachO platform, either. :)

Since the debug info is DWARF in both cases, it's possible that a lot of things will just work without much, if any, ELF customization. There will still need to be gdb-specific hooks to register the info and EH frame, of course. I may be being overly optimistic, though.
