What happens when you try to compile 4.8/r.10 with a Xenial .config?

I'm willing to bet the problem is that the Xenial config turns on symbols
and Yakkety/Zesty disable them by default.

See these for further info:

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y

It appears that you'll need DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED=n for kgdb to work properly.
