I've been using plain bog-standard /usr/bin/gdb, not out of lack
of knowledge of kgdb but because I also find that kgdb fails with
a segmentation fault after connecting.
$ which gdb
/usr/bin/gdb

If I'm getting more stuff out of my backtrace, it is likely because I
have this in my kernel config:
makeoptions DEBUG="-g"
And likewise, sorry if I come across as being a bit too verbose or
grumpy. Guidance is welcome.
