Re: kgdb with 2.4.20pre7 kernel on 405 target

By looking at the history of kgdb problem on 405,  we found the two
following messages
related to kgdb failure on 405 target, messages dated from September 2002:
http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-embedded/200209/msg00166.html
http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-embedded/200209/msg00170.html

Is there now  in 2.4.20 kernel a patch to solve this problem ?
 In 2_4_devel, the 4xx debug infrastructure is in the middle of a
change which moves DBCR state from pt_regs to thread struct.
Without DBCR being context switched, anything using the 4xx
debug exception will be adversely affected. This includes
kgdb and ptrace.
