There is still a problem (at any rate on macOS) with using GDB on
executables generated with FSF GCC, as in GDB bug #11385 [1]:

   (gdb) catch exception
   Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.
   Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration.

One workround is to start the session using -readnow: gdb -readnow foo

But, how to do this with GPS? there's probably some Python magic??
