owh - spoke too soon. there must be more to it: i tried reverting 5f30fa18ad043a841fe9f0c3917ac60f2519ebd1, which restores ability to debug my 64 bit kernel just fine, but now i get the packet too long when trying to debug 32 bit code.... wouldn't it be possible to implement some kind of explicit switch with qemu in the meantime, so i can choose what bitness i want to debug? I know, it's a problem with gdb under the hood, but still - it's really uncool debugging doesn't work in either of the two cases.
