Uh, GDB could consume it (for ocamlopt native compilation, not for bytecode 
compilation, of course), you can use GDB to debug languages not known to it, 
with some restrictions (e.g. you can use only C syntax to evaluate 
expressions inside GDB).

It's really the producing end that's missing, not the consuming end.
