Good job!

If this is fixed in a current gcc-4.1 release, I'd be really against
this.  Perhaps a compiler check in <linux/kgdb.h> with some good
comments (gcc bug url and such) instead?

FWIW, I had been just accepting Bob's changes as I didn't have any ia64
access either.

It might be worthing poking the LinuxSH list to see if anyone wants to
step up and keep an eye on KGDB/SH.  I primarily did this port because I
had the hardware and to try and prove it really was easy enough to add
another arch, given an existing stub somewhere.  I no longer have the
hardware I did this port on.
