I've appended the stack trace for this.

Tom> ../../archer/gdb/thread.c:708: internal-error: finish_thread_state: Assertion `tp' failed.

I couldn't reproduce this one.

I watched gdb run make a little more closely and I think the
sluggishness just comes from re-reading gcc's debuginfo each time make
starts a new gcc process.

I thought we may want some heuristic to keep debuginfo around a little
while before discarding it, for situations like this; but maybe speeding
up debuginfo reading would solve the problem more cleanly.
