Xcode preference gives me hope

The Debugging pane of Xcode's preferences window includes the checkbox "Load CFM symbol information". Now, I am no CFM expert, but the "Carbon Porting Guide" discusses the limitations of using GDB to debug a CFM app:

" you cannot set breakpoints at CFM functions, including those in your application" " GDB cannot use the symbol names in a CFM application"

which seems to contradict what I expect to happen from the mentioned Xcode preference.

So, what specifically (i.e. at the gdb level) does this preference do? Because if it does what I hope it does (i.e. remove above limitations) then I want to do it in my command-line GDB sessions for CFM apps.
