Please use current code. Version 0.4.8 is so old that I really  don't
care any more about it.

Please read the documentation. This is not the correct and  supported
way to boot Linux.

Right.

It does work, but requires you to add the missing cpu/*/kgdb.S file.

Don;t add anything to U-Boot 0.4.8. Dump it. Use current code.

And no, this is not a difficult task, just a somewhat laborious task.

This is also ancient code. Forget it. You will not receive much  help
for this.
