I'm having problems trying to recompile parts of the kernel/boot code to =
allow me to single step through some broken code.

It appears that the code in /boot/... seems to be compiled without =
'debug' info, other than the kernel.

I need to debug the loader code, and am having difficulty rebuilding =
only 'ubldr' and attendant common/library files.

And of course, needless to say the board I'm working on is not a =
currently supported/ported-to powerpc board. The freescale
designator is:

p1020wlan, and while it resembles a p1020rdb=85 it is sufficiently =
different as to disallow that board's configurations to just 'work'=85

As a note note=85 it would seem that FreeBSD still has not really gone =
'embedded', since there doesn't seem to have an 'easy' mechanism for =
just
copying compressed kernel image out of rom, into ram, and jump to the =
start entry point. There's also only vague references to what the kernel
expects in the 'parameters' passed from the boot loader.

Any help appreciated.
John Clark.
