One issue I'm seeing is that gdb isn't seeing debugging symbols. I'm getting the following output with the config linked. https://pastebin.com/tjq7QtQk ``` anadon@botamon:~/Documents/code/linux$ gdb arch/x86/boot/bzImage GNU gdb (Ubuntu 15.0.50.20240403-0ubuntu1) 15.0.50.20240403-git Copyright (C) 2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
