that patch sets DEBUG_INFO to y by default, even if whether DEBUG_KERNEL 
nor KGDB is enabled. The attached patch changes this to enable DEBUG_INFO 
by default only if KGDB is enabled.

Looks good to me, but.... just what does this turn on?  Its been a 
long time and me thinks a wee comment here would help me remember next 
time.

DEBUG_INFO add "-g" to CFLAGS.
Main reason to introduce this was that many architectures always use
"-g", so a config option seemed more appropriate.
I do not agree that this should be dependent on KGDB.
To my knowledge -g is useful also without using kgdb.

I have this in my tree (from Dave Hansen). Slightly twisted, but there's
no better way I can see. Goes on top of the kgdb patch.
