what version of gdb?
when apple applied this patch to gcc
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-03/msg01515.html
they never bothered to update gdb to recognize the DW_LANG_ObjC,
this should have been fixed in gdb 6.8 released 4 years ago,
but I still often see backtraces on this list where this bug is apparent.

probably because the bug was introduced before the switch to gplv3 and
fixed after.
