And how exactly is a JTAG going to help him resolve compile time
issues he's currently having?   Sure, JTAG is nice for things, and
some are lucky enough to have access to one.  But $ means it is not
something everyone has, and it is not a substitute for thinking your
way through a problem.  I'm more apt to use one to restore a bad
flash image than anything else more complicated.
