I can't (or won't) help with stack/register dumps unless they are built
with default config. That's different than saying they aren't helpful.
The problem is the symbols are what's interesting to me and I can't
determine them unless the bits match what's in a source tree I have.

I guess it's time we put together a "PARISC Kernel Debugging HOW-TO
for Dummies". ie how to look up symbols, explain TOC (and HPMC), how
to get/decode TOC/HPMC dumps, etc.

It can. There's a global variable someplace that is *disabled* by default.
If someone can just remember the global's name...
