We do need this. The panic I posted yesterday happened in the 'make'
stage of the below sequence:
cd /sys/<arch>/conf
config FOO
cd ../compile/FOO
make clean
make
Note that the kernel.debug matching the running kernel was blown away at
this point.
I was going to just install kernel.sym instead of a kernel with symbols,
but kgdb's usage doesn't claim to support '-s' as the previous kgdb did.
