While looking at this, you might consider cross-platform kernel
debugging support.  FreeBSD gdb on i386 can also debug NetBSD and
Linux kernels on a serial link.  The last time I tried NetBSD gdb
(sorry, don't have the version, but it's not the latest), it couldn't
handle FreeBSD cores.  I didn't try Linux, and I haven't tried OpenBSD
with either version.

I'm prepared to help with this if you want.
