Another option if you're just after compiling a kernel and do not
require a kernel compiled with debug symbols, you can comment out the

makeoptions	 DEBUG=3D"-g"

line from your kernel configuration, re-configure and re-compile
(after a "make clean"), and the rather bulky netbsd.gdb won't enter
into the equation.
