Description djordje.todorovic@rt-rk.com 2017-11-01 14:43:35 UTC 
GDB loads native libthread_db that is only good for native debugging.

When GDB is configured to run on Linux x86_64 with MIPS target like this:
#  ./configure --target=mips-mti-linux-gnu

and when try to read value of TLS variable from MIPS cross-target core file this message would be printed out:

(gdb) p tls_variable
Cannot find thread-local storage for LWP 21808, executable file ...
Cannot find thread-local variables on this target


The same problem would occur with all supported cross-target architectures.
