Sure.  Please submit a patch to wire it into tools/Makefile, or
wherever is appropriate.

Here is a patch to enable gdbsx by default.

I suppose it would be cleaner to eliminate the debugger dir as gdbsx is the only one under there that's used and that would enable the tools/Rules.mk templates to cover the 

    subdir-clean-gdbsx:

    subdir-install-gdbsx

targets and not require them to be explicit in tools/Makefile

Also, I don't know if 

    SUBDIRS-y += debugger/gdbsx

should be conditional on any type of target, CONFIG_X86 or?
