(If you think about it, it makes sense.) I don't know whether there's any way for Xcode to run gdb as root but you can do it yourself (using sudo) if you don't depend on Xcode's GUI. I think you have to log in as root to do this; as I recall a change was made to Mac OS X a while back to prohibit launching GUI apps as root while logged in as not-root (or, perhaps, just prohibiting launching GUI apps under a different ID than that of the logged-in user; I forget).
