The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function defines the kgdb_compiled_break
symbol using inline assembly.
There's a potential issue where the compiler might inline
arch_kgdb_breakpoint(), which would then define the kgdb_breakinst
symbol multiple times, leading to fail to link vmlinux.o.
This isn't merely a potential compilation problem. The intent here
is to determine the global symbol address of kgdb_compiled_break,
and if this function is inlined multiple times, it would logically
be a grave error.

I guess you meant kgdb_compiled_break.

The "extern" is not needed here.

Here you forgot .option norvc. But this fix as mentioned by Samuel
should be in a separate patch.

I don't think we actually need either here: we're just looking at the
address of kgdb_compiled_break, so it's fine if it ends up as a
c.ebreak.
