Agreed.  kgdb makes no sense.

  Backwards step.
  
  	$ man kgdb
  	No manual entry for kgdb
  	$ apropos kgdb
  	kgdb: nothing appropriate
  	$ info kgdb
  	...
  	There is no menu item "kgdb" in this node.
  	$ info -f kgdb
  	info: kgdb: File name too long
  	            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ stale errno bug in info?
  
  It's more important to support one interface properly.  The -k and -w flags
  are not documented in either gdb.1 or gdb.texi.
