There's a bogus conditional in i386/i386/machdep.c that should be
removed:

revision 1.596
date: 2004/07/19 02:46:34;  author: silby;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -0
Add a #error requiring KDB if DDB is specified.  (This can probably be
relocated to a better place, if one exists.)

It has found its way to amd64 as well and therefore may be elsewhere
(not ia64, as that works as expected).
