That's why I like to dig into source myself: to see how it really works. :D

Well... you could always try to mimic the sending part of 
OutputDebugString as seen in the source link I've send you. Might be 
easier than to convince the GDB people to include this. And even if 
they'd include it, you must wait for a new release or build it yourself.

That's because Delphi contains its own debugger which catches the 
exceptions that are raised by OutputDebugString.
