   You will need to compile binaries with -Wl,-no_pie if you want to debug in
FSF gdb
under Lion (which defaults to -pie in the linker).  Apple's gdb automatically
disables
aslr under Lion (which can be turned back on by setting the  disable-aslr flag
to 0 within
Apple's gdb). This option doesn't exist in FSF gdb yet as far as I know.

ps There is some discussion of this at
