Use objdump from the gdb source tree to dump the area of the
kernel in assembler and see if the assembler/linker created the
code it was supposed to. objdump will hurl on '40 and some '30
MMU/CPU instructions but it should give you a general idea if
the assembler/loader did their job. Now you know why the big boys
hook up $50k digital logic analyzers to debug their kernels...
