CW8 and 9 use the system gdb as debugger nub, so when installing a
newer XCode, you get a newer gdb, which affects CW 8 and 9 debugging.
However, things are more complicated for CW 7, as CW 7 doesn't use the
system gdb but the file MetroWerks CodeWarrior:CodeWarrior
Plugins:Debuggers:CW_GDB.bin. So, for CW 7 you have to replace that
file with the new system gdb. The system gdb is typically located at
/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-powerpc-apple-darwin, with the script /usr/bin/gdb
pointing to it (but the details may differ on OS X 10.4). For example,
type (in a Terminal window)

cp /usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-powerpc-apple-darwin ~/Desktop

and then put the file on the Desktop under the name CW_GDB.bin in
MetroWerks CodeWarrior:CodeWarrior Plugins:Debuggers.
