Known issue, is probably unfixable.

Could you locate the binary libphobos file, open it e.g. with 
SciTE and look for some mangled string that contains 'finddata', 
such as
_D2rt15deh_win64_posix13__eh_finddataFPvZPyS2rt15deh_win64_posix9FuncTable

- something like this is required to have proper exception 
hooking :)

Okay, this means dmd won't generate file/offset associations 
and/or thus can't be loaded in gdb.

If you tried running your D programw with gdb, made a breakpoint 
at _Dmain and stepped through the method's code - could you tell 
me whether it's actually possible to step through the lines? Or 
is it just telling the same? If so, we can forget about having 
the gdb addin on OSX as the most essential parts of debugging 
aren't supported (again, just as on Windows) due to mysterious 
reasons..
