Description
Link: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/debugging-support-in-rustc.html
If we try debugging in mac os natively we get:
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
because it is not supported by GDB yet. I think we should make this clear, incl any workaround that people may use.

Research direction
Start with the debugging support page at rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/debugging-support-in-rustc.html and verify the reported GDB behavior on native macOS aarch64. Document that limitation and any confirmed workaround; the work is done when readers can understand the support status and available alternatives.
