This will invoke `gdb -k`. For 5.3 and later, kgdb is used for kernel debugging. Using `ddd --debugger kgdb` will pass `-q -fullname` as an option to kgdb, but kgdb doesn't handle them at the moment and thus startup will fail. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: pass -f / -fullname to the GDB core (according to marcel@) implement -q / -quiet in some way to skip copyright messages etc. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
