I'm not sure if I want to agree here.
First, you have to learn how to use GDB to deal with the symbol table
of a dynamically loaded module. Second, did you ever try to set a
breakpoint in the init function of a dynamically loaded module? It is
possible to do that, but you need a certain level of understanding,
and if your boot loader supports download over ethernet it is usually
easier and faster to debug this situation with a statically linked
driver.
You are right however as far as the modify-compile-load-run-unload
development cycle is concerned.
Best regards,
