Use the standard Xcode trick to swap out running executables from under the Xcode (1.5) debugger:

1) Build your tool in Xcode.
2) Find the Executable that your target is going to run, and do Command-I
3) Go to the Debugging tab in the Info panel, and uncheck "Start executable after starting debugger"
4) Debug
5) In Terminal, launch your executable
6) In a separate Terminal window, use ps -axwww to find the PID of the process
6) Back in Xcode's debugger's gdb console, type "attach <PID>"

To make this a little bit easier, replace the last two steps with this:
6) Back in Xcode's debugger's gdb console, type "attach <name of your application>"
As long as you don't have multiple processes running with that name, this'll work. Oh, and gdb does tab expansion on the application name, so you usually just have to type the first few characters and hit tab.
