Ho do you debug D executables on mac os x in which debug symbols are available (preferably a setup that works in emacs with gdb or gud-gdb)?

This thread seems to bring up the issue I am seeing:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/k55tiv$28u3$1...@digitalmars.com

but no solution is provided. Also, this bug,

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2741

seems to specifically talk to the issue and is closed RESOLVED FIXED.
Yet I am unable to get it to work.

In this thread on usability of D dev environment from OSX, several people are having success developing D on OSX. Question is, do they
debug and if so how? (hopefully not just print statements)

I am a switcher, just trying out the mac ecosystem. On ubuntu linux, for my rather small sample apps emacs (M-x gdb) just works, assuming I've built with rdmd specifying debug and that the command build only (to
keep the binary). The symbols and line numbers are available.

Is there a setup for Mac that others are having success with?

See:

Thanks. What is the takeaway? That it does not work and can not work until these two bugs are fixed? A simple "I don't think you can get there from here"?
