I am sure that there are plenty of #ifdef in gdb. It sounds to me like they don't want to complicate the maintenance, and are trying to force zLinux to use the same logic as the mainstream kernel.

Once I get some time to make sure they compile cleanly on my system, I'll be putting them up on linuxvm.org, and sending a note to the list announcing that. Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the assistance.
