The lldb I'm using is from XCode 7.0.1. I can debug my binary if I run lldb as root.
I eventually figured out my actual bug from log messages without lldb. Turns out, Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan doesn't allow the root user to deploy binaries to /usr/bin which our installer does so that our binary is in the default ssh environment path. I setup a custom ~/.ssh/environment and configured PermitUserEnvironment to yes in /etc/sshd_config and that let my binary run normally. But, still, I can't seem to run lldb as a normal system user with our binary.
