I haven't tried debugging /usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin with itself as I need the source code and I'm not sure how to set it up. I have tried debugging path_to_freshly_built_gdb/gdb with itself. This was actually the first thing I tried. The result is identical - task_for_pid() fails(returns KERN_FAILURE...) on forked child process of debuggie gdb.

/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin or
path_to_freshly_built_gdb/gdb debug *themselves*?
