Two things,

Last time I looked Eclipse did not support relative paths (seriously, I 
also recall this was a 'feature') rendering it unusable for any of the 
projects I was involved in - YMMV

There is an IDE with a reasonable debugger UI for gdb in CodeBlocks 
which is worth a try (it's even written in C++). It is in the spirit of 
C++BuilderX if anyone remembers that IDE. I use CB now as my main IDE 
even on Windows, though for debugging on Windows VC++ is a clear winner.

Apologies for being drawn into this OT thread... ;)
