   Hi,

   Attached patches add kgdb support to gdb. They define two new
   targets i386-lk and x86_64-lk. Because of the definition of these
   targets, one can build a gdb with does not contain the linux
   operating environment specific things which are inappropriate for
   the kernel, like signal trampoline frame parsing.

I don't think you/we should add a new target triple for this stuff.
Instead you should add a special OS ABI variant for the kernel, and
use that to define your own kernel architecture vector.  I suppose
there is a way to detect that a binary is a Linux kernel instead of a
normal ELF executable?

Oh, and if you want this code to be included in the official GDB
sources, you'll have to assign copyright to the FSF of course.

Mark
