gdb can handle assembler functions..... on some architectures even
assembler functions would need to follow ABI requirements for
prologue/epilogue, and have unwinding info. gdb also uses code reading
to do unwinding, so assembler functions can be unwound usually...

ok, i will try to make kdb on parisc work under these conditions.
thanks for the clarification.
