this is *NOT* a problem, at all...
what it means is that dbsym (the thing that makes symbol tables
for ddb) was run, noticed that it couldn't find db_symtab
(because ddb wasn't included in the kernel), and so whined a bit.
that's it. the system will function normally (was about to say
perfectly, but... 8-) with this error message. (a fatal error
would have killed the build...)
if you'd like ddb in your kernel, take a look in
the other kernel config files for examples. i know BOAT_ANCHOR
has it compiled in, because that's our beat-me-until-i-break
machine... 8-)
