How about simply linking the kerntypes files into vmlinux? AFAIK, lcrash
is able to use vmlinux with stabs information instead of a separate
kerntypes file. Supporting this could be as simple as putting
obj-y += $(kerntypes-y)
$(kerntypes-y): CFLAGS += $(KERNTYPES_FLAGS)
into scripts/Makefile.build, although I haven't tried that.
