To solve this problem requires :-

- Create a new certificate for gdb and then codesign it

• Open Key Chain Access
• Create Certificate Assistant\Create new certificate
• Select name as "gdb-cert" and set identity type to "Self Signed"
• Set certificate type to "Code Signing" and select "Let me override defaults"
• Click on continue till you get "Specify a location" and choose "System"

- Codesign the gdb

sudo codesign -s gdb-cert /usr/local/bin/gdb 

- Create a new .gdbinit file and edit the Eclipse preferences with the full path to gdb and .gdbinit

echo "set startup-with-shell off" >> ~/.gdbinit
