Hi,

I did a cvs checkout of the 6.7 branch:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co -r gdb_6_7-branch gdb

As I used it to debug a kernel module, I found that gdb could get line
number info for my kernel module.

On my target:
[root@isc1 ~]# grep dstdrv /proc/modules
dstdrv 33692 0 - Live 0xbf131000

On my host:
ringlej@crossdev:~/WAVE/Build7/Platform/Volcano/os/kernel/linux$ file
../../kernel-modules/dst/dstdrv.ko

GDB has enough information to set the breakpoint correctly, but can't
seem to find line info for the kernel module.
