But now you've enabled a lot of stuff that, as far as I can tell, could
not have been built since v2.6.39.

The proper fix would be to remove GDBSTUB and everything that depends on
it. I tried to do that once and it turned out to be much more work than
I expected. So perhaps we should just do s/DEPRECATED/BROKEN/ and let
the mn10300 maintainers deal with this.
