GDB has to connect _to_ something :) If you don't have a stub, nothing
on your target speaks the GDB protocol.

Yes. I recommend you read the GDB manual, on the section describing
gdbserver. GDB doesn't connect to the kernel at all, you start a
gdbserver process on the target with the path to kaffe.
