gdb log, failing on osx

This might be a dublicate of #194661, but adding logs.

I am debugging a JNI library under ubuntu linux and OS X mountain lion. Therefor I use the "attach debugger" feature to attach to a JVM instance. At this time it is assured that the library is already loaded by the JVM.

On linux everything works like a charm (see gdb-linux.log). On OS X before gdb actually attaches to the process, the executable name is not resolved correctly. The JVM arguments are treated as part of the file name. Therefor gdb fails with "No such file or directory". (gdb-osx-ml.log)

The issue occurs when using remote debugging (netbeans on linux, target OS X) as well as on localhost debug under OS X.
