thread_db_new_objfile() is called two times.
On the first run it prints the library name and
than branches on the falg using_thread_db
to the label quit.
There it returns without executing target_new_objfile_chain (objfile).

The second time the same path is followed but without branching into
the block protected by the flag dejavu.

In neither cases is this line executed:
    /* Now attempt to open a connection to the thread library.  */
    err = td_ta_new_p (&proc_handle, &thread_agent);
