I think the problem is kgdb isn't yet stable ( read - work for everyone without
requiring to pull hair ) enough to be included in the kernel
yet.
The reason for that is kgdb isn't yet tried by many people. It will get stable
and better only when many people try it and give feedback.
I have started a sourceforge project yesterday for this purpose. I'll put my
version of kgdb there ( which incidentaly contains more features then other
versions available out there ) and request people to try and give me feedback.
I'll annouce it when I put the debugger in a decent shape there.
Regards.
