NACK again - I tell you why below.

This step I don't understand at all. Why do you want to destroy the
possibility to automatically load the scripts? Did you read
Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt in this regard?

This works only so far as that (if you don't destroy the link) the main
script will still find its modules. However, *.pyc files are then
generated in the source tree, no longer in the output dirs. The code is
designed to prevent this.

You still don't explain to us why the existing code doesn't work for you
and how you prefer to use it instead.
