GDB is written in C, even worse it is written in a 80th hackish style using tons of macros. Most advanced pascal programmers can read it but writing or even debugging is another matter.
It is not /that/ hard to debug (not much more difficult than debugging the symbol table in FPC anyway).
Compiling gdb as any gcc written software is a nightmare especially on non unix.
On unix (at least on Linux and Mac OS X) it is trivial to compile (./ configure ; make). It doesn't have any unusual external dependencies, pretty much everything that's required is included in the gdb source tree itself.
