Well, I won't say it's impossible to build the kernel with the ARM SDT. But,
personally, I would spend the time on either improving the GDB+ARMulator
combination, or fixing GCC and/or SDT so that the SDT debugger can be used on
images built with GNU tools. (The latter should work in theory but there
seems to be some incompatibility.)
The problem is that the kernel is full of GNU language extensions; __inline__,
__attribute__ and the like. Plus there is a fair amount of assembly code in
GNU syntax.
