Amazing that they charge so much for a easy hack of kgdbstub. If it patches
any kernel/rtlinux code that part will be GPLed anyways. If it patches
any GDB or DDD code that part too. So there is probably not too much
left in between.

This is clearly wrong. gdbstub for the linux kernel has existed for years, 
SGI kdb for months. Although they don't work for rtlinux threads ATM they
work do just fine for other kernel code.
