Yes, I think so. > (2) Is serial break currently broken in 'cu'? No opinion, since I haven't tried using it. What I have observed is: I use the same gdb for remote serial debugging both for FreeBSD and Linux (ia32). That's right, it's a FreeBSD box running FreeBSD gdb in both cases. I can break to the Linux kernel, but not to the FreeBSD kernel. From this, I conclude that it's a kernel issue, not a gdb issue.
