 I am also fairly annoyed by this; after checking the gdb source code, it 
 seems that there is no way to way to disable these messages. In 
 linux-thread-db.c,
 
 http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/linux-thread-db.c?rev=1.18&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
 
 all calls to attach_thread() and detach_thread() set the "verbose" 
 argument of either function to "1" (constant).
 
 It would be really nice if the code could be modified to maybe use the 
 global gdb verbosity setting currently in effect?
