  I haven't had any problems with gdb on the current kernel.  For a while,
I thought I had one system that worked and another that didn't, even though
I was running the same version of the kernel.  That "problem" turned out
to be running with a gdb compiled last December.  After getting rid of that
old version and running with a newer one, it worked fine.

  I think the problem was that the kernel was enforcing a long-word
alignment on accesses to the registers, but the registers on the m68k
stack frame weren't on the required boundary.
