Yeah.  I tried it on a simple test I use often, much like
schedlock.c (spawns a few threads that go busy looping), creating
a few inferiors using that program, and `-exec-run --all' didn't
behave correctly; it didn't crash, but a bunch of threads
missing.  I haven't investigated fully, but there's the
option of not supporting it until it actually works..

Nit: could you make these explicitly "static", although there's
a declaration above that makes them static already?

In C, this:
 
 "foo"
 "bar"

is a single string "foobar".  So you could split these long lines like, e.g.:

                          "library-loaded,id=\"%s\",target-name=\"%s\","
                          "host-name=\"%s\",symbols-loaded=\"%d\","
                          "thread-group=\"i%d\"",

This could be static?  A global named `current_context' (a very
generic name), is sort of asking for trouble if someone else
adds another `current_context' global somewhere else; the linker
may consider them the same variable, and it could go unnoticed.
Defensively, globals like these should be either
prefixed (e.g., mi_foo), or made static and exported through
a function.

Pedantically, this one is no longer a callback.  You could rename
this one, and name the new function `proceed_thread_callback', instead
of `proceed_thread_callback_wrapper'.

Something's wrong with this sentence.  Also, most MI errors
you've added have the string wrapped in _() for i18n, while these
do not.

Hmm, aren't the `struct mi_parse' objects leaking
for every MI command?  I can't see where they're released in
mi_execute_command ?

In the latter strncmp above:

+ if (strncmp (chp, "--all", as) == 0)

AS is always larger than strlen("--all"), so the
strncmp's check on AS is useless and confusing here.
I think you wanted:

      if (strcmp (chp, "--all") == 0)
       {
         parse->all = 1;
         chp += strlen (chp);
       }

More of the `to i18n or not to i18n' issue.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

Do you know if current frontends had bad assumptions, and will
behave or misbehave with this change?  E.g., CDI, DSF-GDB, kdevelop?
