Can we have a toolchain that works?

Dag,

Regarding your question about a working debugger, due to your problems
debugging
code with the in-tree gdb on latest current, we have a few options:

(1)  Enable WITH_LLDB by default in the make infrastructure, and install
lldb.

       We already have lldb in the tree:
         https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/llvm/tools/lldb/
       but it is not built by default.

        lldb does not have kgdb support though.

(2)  Kick gdb out of the base system, and tell people to install the
devel/gdb port.
       This will install gdb 7.10 from ports.
       This port also installs kgdb
