Thanks for updating.
A Problem in section 11.3 (Debugging a Crash Dump with DDD) still remains.
`ddd -k` passes the `-k` to gdb which doesn't recognize it anymore (aswe 
are using kgdb now).
Specifying `--debugger kgdb` will pass a `-q -fullname` to kgdb which 
kgdb doesn't recognize.

Maybe it would be the simplest approach to let kgdb support this options 
for compatibility (maybe just ignore them) (marcel?)

Perhaps we should file a separate PR to not forget about it?
