linux kernel config

Hi all,

I'm trying to debug a linux kernel issue using gdb. I'm essentially following
this tutorial:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.9/dev-tools/gdb-kernel-debugging.html

When I execute "lx-symbols", I get the error mentioned in the header.

I'm using GNU gdb (GDB) 10.1 on archlinux with gcc version 10.2.0 (GCC) and
QEMU emulator version 5.1.0

I have attached the kernel config. The binary exceeds the upload limit. I can
provide it upon request.
The kernel is based on commit: 9ff9b0d392ea08090cd1780fb196f36dbb586529

Here's the exact output of my gdb debugging session:

[I] ~/S/R/S/linux (master|…) $ gdb vmlinux
