Thank you for your time.
        The way in which I tried to install 'xkgdb' is this:
    -- I ran the patch utility which prompted me to patch only 2
       files : linux/Makefile & linux/arch/i386/config.in
    -- I configured the kernel "make config". It did not prompt
       me for "kernel debugging support" but did prompt me for
       "kernel profiling support". Are they the same?
-- I compiled the kernel using -g option
    -- I then ran "make; make install" in xkdebug-2.1.55/
       subdirectory. It gave me a bunch of errors, some of which
       are:
       -- xkdebug.c:24: linux/vmalloc.h : No such file or directory
       -- xkdebug.c:26: asm/uaccess.h: No such file or directory
       -- xkdebug.c:534: macro 'get_user' used with too many
                                    (2) arguments
Am I missing to do something? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks again.
