gdb/threading under arm-linux

[Miah Gregory]

Hi,

Does anyone know whether threads are supported in the arm-linux version of
gdb. From the gdb documentation, if 'info threads' appears to no-op, and
'thread x' gives an error, threads are not supported.

I'm trying to work out whether I'm seeing a gdb problem, a kernel problem,
or both. I'm running this test on a pair of compaq ipaq's, one running
2.4.3-rmk2-np1, and the other running 2.4.16-rmk1.

gdb version | kernel version | threads seem to work?
------------|----------------|-------------------------------------
5.0         | 2.4.3-rmk2-np1 | Yes
5.1.1       | 2.4.3-rmk2-np1 | No, but lots of SIG32's are received
5.0         | 2.4.16-rmk1    | No, but lots of SIG32's are received
5.1.1       | 2.4.16-rmk1    | No, but lots of SIG32's are received

I'm happy to try and debug this, but I could do with a few pointers as to
where I should start looking, and some ideas as to what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.
