I don't remember any recent (read: in the last few years) problems either, so I guess this is ok. > In addition this patch removes the debug target: debug_kallsyms This might be useful if changes in some binutils version creates new problems for kallsyms, but it doesn't seem like a lot of work to just send a reporter a patch to add this back if needed. Since there haven't been any reports in a few years, I have no problems with this.
