       * linux-thread-db.c (libthread_db_debug): New variable.
       (thread_db_find_new_threads_silently): Control verbosity with it.
       (try_thread_db_load_1, try_thread_db_load): Likewise.
       (find_new_threads_once): Likewise.
       (_initialize_thread_db): Set/show it.

       * gdb.texinfo (Threads): Document 'debug libthread-db'.
