Hi,
currently KGDB being selected forces the kernel to include debu infor into the
image. Usually the kernel debug info should be enabled to makes full use of
KGDB but in some circumstances/for some architectures (ie MIPS) it might be
useful/convenient to be able to switch it off.
The patch attached patch adds ability to switch debug info off.
