It sounds like the kernel on the target system still has the
debug symbols in it. The symbols are actually only needed
in the kernel on the host end. (present on the same machine
as gdb.)
You can strip the kernel you put on your target with
strip --strip-unneeded vmlinux
This should allow you to use more then a bare kernel.
It seems that you have fallen prey to a common misconception
about remote debugging. Hope this helps.
