+       Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4 release.  Please note that
+       clang 3.4 now defaults to DWARF4 debug information format when you
+       specify -g.  Since kgdb(1) only supports DWARF2, you should update any
+       customized kernel configurations which include debug information to
+       explicitly use -gdwarf-2, e.g:
+
+         makeoptions   DEBUG=-gdwarf-2
+
+       This has already been applied to the appropriate GENERIC configuration
+       files, so if you inherit from those, no changes are required.
