I'm not a total expert on this code, but this seems reasonable to me.
One nit is ${SUBJECT} should probably be "kgdb over serial" instead of
"kgd over serial"

Another slight nit is that the above line feels a little long,
clocking in at 110 columns. I know the 80 column limit isn't so firm
these days, but if it were me I'd split it across 2 lines.
