No, no gdb stub in xen/ia64 right now. The pdb-stub is vestigial... there used to be one in xen/x86 (a debugger that Alex Ho was doing, see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sos22/replay.bk/docs/misc/XenDebugger-HOWTO http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/GRID.2004.49) and the routines in it were accessed from common. Because I've had the use of a good simulator, I haven't had much use for an interactive debugger, but I'm sure it will become useful at some point. We had a similar gdb-stub in vBlades and it sometimes came in handy.
