This is done intentionally by the GDB command `start'.

So symbols from /opt/FS/common/csu work as can be seen in the main function.
Symbols from remote `/lib/libpthread.so.0' do not work. I guess it uses
separate debug info. You can try:
readelf -wi /opt/FS/lib/libpthread.so.0
readelf -wi /opt/FS/usr/lib/debug/opt/FS/lib/libpthread.so.0
readelf -wi /opt/FS/usr/lib/debug/opt/FS/lib/libpthread.so.0.debug
# There are just guesses, it depends on the montavista distro from which comes
# /opt/FS/lib/libpthread.so.0 and I do not know montavista. readelf should
# come from the montavista cross binutils package.
I guess you should really use also the part of the reproducer from me:
-ex 'set debug-file-directory /host1/usr/lib/debug
that is in your case:
-ex 'set debug-file-directory /opt/FS/usr/lib/debug
And you should also verify the separate debug info files from montavista are
installed under /opt/FS/usr/lib/debug (for example *-debuginfo.rpm packages in
Fedora).
