If you take a look at my patch for gdb 4.17.0.13, you will find out

1. The x86 FPU support is written for both Linux and none-Linux OSes.
2. It supports Linuxthreads on x86, alpha and ppc. It is not hard to
add for other archs. Since I only had access to x86, alpha and ppc
at the time, they were the only ones enabled.

The gdb in cvs doesn't have any of those. I will see what I can do.
It is kind of mess.
