I followed exactly what the README detailed:

DomU GDB server for 32-bit (PAE and non-PAE) systems
----------------------------------------------------

Lines marked below with [*] are optional, if you want full
source-level debugging of your kernel image.

To build the GDB server:
 1. Run ./gdbbuild from within this directory.
 2. Copy ./gdb-6.2.1-linux-i386-xen/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver-xen
    to your test machine.

To build a debuggable guest kernel image:
 1. cd linux-2.6.12-xenU
 2. ARCH=xen make menuconfig
 3. From within the configurator, enable the following options:
    # Kernel hacking -> Compile the kernel with debug info [*]
                     -> Compile the kernel with frame pointers
 4. (Re)build and (re)install your xenU kernel image.

To debug a running guest:
 1. Use 'xm list' to discover its domain id ($domid).
 2. Run 'gdbserver-xen 127.0.0.1:9999 --attach $domid'
 3. Run 'gdb /path/to/vmlinux-syms-2.6.xx-xenU'
 4. From within the gdb client session:
    # directory /path/to/linux-2.6.xx-xenU [*]
    # target remote 127.0.0.1:9999
    # bt
    # disass
