The interface itself seems to be compiled in (see `Makefrag.am':
``nodist_libkernel_a_SOURCES += [...] kern/mach_debug.server.c''), but
you are right that the C header files aren't installed into
`PREFIX/include/'.

Yes, that's what I'd suggest: just copy the C header files from `[GNU
Mach]/include/mach_debug/' somewhere locally and if you then can tell me
that they're in fact useful, I can of course change the GNU Mach build
system to install them alongside the other C header files.

You'll need to use `mig' to create client-side C stub files from the
`mach_debug/mach_debug.defs' file and then can use these in your
user-space code.
Again I want to note that I have no idea how much of the `mach_debug'
interface is properly implemented inside GNU Mach itself. But you'll
notice if it'll work or not. :-)
