SubjectRe: [PATCH] kgdb: Replace strstr() by strchr() for single-character needles
I think the patch is fine and I will accept it into the kgdb tree for
pushing to Linus, but I did have a question.

How did the kgdbts.o end up getting compiled on m68k if there is no kgdb
support on m68k?

CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS should not be able to be set if there is no
CONFIG_KGDB set.

Thanks,
Jason.
