I'd like to propose a further change here, which is to decouple the
inclusion of debugging symbols from building with KGDB support.  I use a
JTAG debugger all the time, and don't need/want KGDB built in (by
default it forces the remote GDB to attach and continue, and it steals
one of the serial ports on my platform).

How about adding "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO" which simply adds '-g' to the
CFLAGS?  REMOTE_KGDB can be left independent of this option by allowing
either option to enable '-g'.  Patch for 2.4 attached.

Comments?
