+ <body>
+ <p>The KGDB option is now on by default in the devel/gdb
+ port.</p>
+
+ <p>The changes to support cross-debugging of crashdumps in
+ libkvm were committed to HEAD in r291406.</p>
+
+ <p>A new thread target for &os; that is suitable for merging
+ upstream has been written and lightly tested. However, it is not
+ yet available as an option in the port. This thread target uses
+ <tt>ptrace(2)</tt> directly rather than <tt>libthread_db</tt> and
+ as such supports threads on all ABIs (such as &os;/i386 binaries
+ on &os;/amd64 and possibly Linux binaries, though that is not yet
+ tested). It also requires less-invasive changes in the MD targets
+ in GDB compared to the <tt>libthread_db</tt>-based target.</p>
