FYI, the GLIBC maintainer is not willing to support anything other than 
the published [functional] libthread-db interfaces.  While teaching GDB 
the internals of GLIBC might get things working short term, it won't 
work long term unless the GLIBC maintainer is willing to publish those 
internal details as part of a formal interface.
