FYI, you do not need to build a DEBUG kernel for debugging purpose -- a
DEBUG kernel is much slower because of the additional checks. What you
really need is the appropriate symbols file.

All good ideas. I will forward these suggestions on to the relevant
folks here at Apple.
I'm also working on providing specific guidance (in the form of a
technote) on building xnu for debugging purposes. I hope to have that
finished by WWDC.
Also, it the panic could print stack trace with symbolic names instead
of
addresses (as Linux does).
Indeed, our current panic screen is less than idea. We're definitely
working on improving it for the next major release of Mac OS X.
