That's incorrect.  You need matching _libraries_ - that's the libraries
used by your program, not the libraries used by GDB.  The gdb client
will never look at its libthread_db.

On your target, you should have the libthread_db that came with the
libpthread you're using.  On the host, you should have a complete
filesystem image of the target.  Use solib-absolute-prefix to point to
it.

I really need to write a section about this in the manual.
