Been messing around with the O2 and KGDB and well, theres a problem that
I don't quite know how to tackle, when building a 64-bit kernel with
mips64 target toolchain and with CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64 and then trying to
start remote gdb with that image I get a Segfault from gdb. What do you
think is the cause of this?

I guess its just file format mixup confusing gdb? any pointer from a gdb
guru
towards making this work?

I believe a CVS snapshot of GDB will "work" but refuse to show you
line numbers, and if you use a CVS snapshot of gas too then things
will work OK.  gas was doing something horribly wrong to the
.debug_line sections it generated.
