Lazarus debugger can do that too.

1. Execute > Parameters > Host application
2. in the field set the custom app
3. run

this works because in theory you can debug a dll written in 
ObjFPC but that will be used by a "foreign" program. The feature 
is not explicit but that just works ;)

And Qt creator of course allows the same

In fact resricting a GDB gui to a single language makes no sense.

1. The source language does not matter or it is automatically 
selected
(GDB only knows a few variation: C C++ Pascal Fortran etc.)
2. it's dwarf in all cases...
