With the old compiler and old gdb, we had alpha and i386 support. gcc-3 broke gdb completely, so we had no support at all (userland or kernel) after that. Now, we have i386 kgdb support and there are works-in-progress for other platforms. This has been explained at great detail on the lists. There really wasn't any need to drag it up yet again here.
