GDB stuck at “Configuring GDB Aborting configuring GDB”

I've installed (OSX Mojave 10.14.6.) Eclipse CDT and GNU MCU Eclipse plugin and finaly GNU Tools for ARM. My goal is to build and debug ARM code using GDB (arm-none-eabi-gdb).

I've created a Hello World project for Arm, which builds ok - but, debugging seems not to work with GDB (that comes with the Arm package). GDB gets stuck:
Configuring GDB Aborting configuring GDB.

I have set the proper paths in Eclipse to arm-none-eabi-gdb.
I have signed the arm-none-eabi-gdb (with the same certificate that I used to sign GDB installed via brew into /usr/local/bin/gdb the day before - and it worked!).
I have also tried running Eclipse as root from command line.

Nothing helps.
The message is "Configuring GDB Aborting configuring GDB".

What to do?

Probably what is going on here is that you built to a given target (ARM based) and you're trying to run it (with gdb) on your mac (x86).

You'll need an emulator or QEMU to properly run on your mac or maybe a real board.
