Thanks Jim,
I ran strip -S on the binary in the bundle and its size went from 101128 to 94088, and the gdb message went away. I guess the picker still works, haven't tried it.

If you want to keep the debug information long term, you make a dSYM file (Xcode does this by default for the release configuration.) But if you're going to ship a library, you also should strip the debug information with "strip -S", since all it does is tell the debugger about .o files your users don't have... Again, Xcode does this by default for release configurations. But if somebody did ship a library with this debug information still in it, you can run "strip -S" on it yourself. All this does is remove debug information, so it won't affect the usefulness of the library, and that way you won't get these messages anymore.
