Assembler view

I believe my previous comments (several years ago now?) on this topic are 
still relevant, but, Amilcar, has the situation changed in the intervening 
time?

It's trivial to get the data from gdb using the current debugger - support in 
kate to show the data would be needed, I'm not sure how much effort that 
would be. You won't get that feature without effort if you port kdbg as that 
uses its own viewer to show the code (although maybe that's no longer true?)
