As far as I know, there's no "really" about it. KGDB is not in the
i386 port. 8-)
KGDB needs the symbol table on the system where KGDB is being run.
Since DDB is a "single-system, on-console" debugger, it needs the
symbols loaded in core, so that it can always get to them.
They're ... completely seperate.
