Hi,

I am not maintaining a kgdb patch for RH7.1 as yet. This is an extact
from the newly uploaded FAQ page on kgdb website.

Why only one kernel version is supported? 
I enhance kgdb and add documentation to kgdb webpage frequently. This
process is easy with a single kernel version as I can work on
enhancing and supporting newer kernel versions at the same time. I
myself need kgdb for kernel debugging on newer kernels for the
translation filesystem. Supporting older kernels involves backporting
enhancements and testing them. Usually a kgdb patch works for
multiple kernel versions with a bit of application of failed hunks by
hand. I plan to support a fixed 2.4 kernel version and a top of the line
2.5
kernel, once 2.5 kernel branch starts.
