This should reliably reproduce the problem (it does for me):
1. Install and codesign GDB (e.g., brew install gdb;
https://github.com/benknoble/Dotfiles/blob/master/links/bin/sign-gdb).
2. Compile a simple C program (e.g.,
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/src/testdir/test_termdebug.vim#L25-L47)
with gcc -g, which also creates a .dSYM directory.
3. Start GDB and execute 'run'.

With or without my ~/.gdbinit (containing only the line "set startup-with-shell
off"), I observe a thread or 2 created and then everything hangs. Sending a
SIGINT seems to "fix" things, and afterwards I can reliably debug _that
specific program_. Others suffer the same hang until it's been "fixed" once.

With the gdbinit file, I can type Control-C for SIGINT. Without it, I have to
run kill from a separate shell.

On the surface, this seems similar to the following reports:
- https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/420492/293074
- https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24069

Yet, all responses show that those are solved, whereas I still experience some
issue. Using the patched domq/gdb (https://github.com/domq/homebrew-gdb) didn't
work. Using the lldb distributed with Apple's compiler toolchain did, though.

I've reproduced this on macOS 13.6, also.
