>Description:
We are lacking a build option like MKKDEBUG for kernel modules. Something
like MKKMODDEBUG (better names welcome) that causes all $mod.kmod to have
a corresponding $mod.kmod.gdb file in the object directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read src/share/mk/bsd.README and look for module debug info.
>Fix:
n/a

I like the name MKMODDEBUG (only 1 K)
If we're going to build the debug modules, we probably also ought to
include them in the debug.tgz distribution set.
