`make xconfig` --> "Kernel hacking" forces the pair:

+ CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

Also I accepted the suggestions:

+ CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
+ CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y

While still testing at random in hope of discovering something relevant,
I should also try the slow DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, also DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW.
