Yes, you could use non-proprietary software.  You could also try reading the
archives before posting.

You don't say what version of GDB you're using but I suspect it is Apple GDB.
If so, why not send a bug report to them explaining that their software is
broken because it doesn't work with Emacs?

Yes, but last time I checked FSF GDB compiled and ran on Darwin, and hence MAC
OSX, and this version didn't have the problem with extra ^M characters.

Furthermore, Apple GDB is a branch of FSF GDB which, not unreasonably, has
been tailored to Apple requirements such as Xcode and AFAIK only compiles on
Mac OSX and related platforms (iPhone?).  GPL allows them to take changes from
FSF GDB but doesn't require them to push them back although others, myself
included, can and do.

That's whay, as I've said before:

That it [Emacs] doesn't work with Apple GDB I don't see as a bug.  Of course, if
you or someone else posts a fix, I will be happy to apply it.
