Re: Linux libthread_db library.

I'm not planning to make any changes. When was this support introduced
in gdb? RedHat 6.2 shipped glibc-2.1.3, but the gdb binary is not linked
(at least not dynamically) to the new thread debugging library.
So that's why I was wondering; I should really be doing some RTFM
through the gdb archives instead of spamming the mailing list. :)
GDB 5.0, libthread_db is dlopen()-ed.
By the way, the libthread_db in glibc-2.1.3 is somewhat broken on
Linux/x86, and thread support in GDB 5.0 is still somewhat flaky.
I've fixed glibc 2.2. I have a patch that makes GDB more robust, but
this patch is still being reviewed.
