This is something we're making huge leaps and bounds with in the last 
week, at least with respect to D. The D patches for gdb have been 
approved and are awaiting a commit, so they will be in the next release 
of gdb (there is also the possibility that the main author of the 
patches will get commit access, which would be great for D :)). This 
combined with my recent patches that make debugging with dmd bearable 
rather than hitting errors with most applications (read anything that 
uses std.stdio), will make the debugging situation with D a lot better!

Of course there's still a long way to go, but it's a great first step :)
