The main problem on RH5.2 and RH6 seems to be that libc is not stripped,
so once you enter a libc function by mistake with 's' you get hundreds
of error messages because of the missing source file. Is there a elegant
fix for that? (e.g. some way to specify to gdb to never look for some
sources)

This will help remote kernel debugging a lot :)
