You need both gdb and glibc patches to debug a statically linked
application with pthreads.  You can find them in the respective list
archives (gdb-patches and libc-alpha) earlier this year.  CVS
snapshots of both GDB and glibc trunk should work; the glibc patch
probably applies cleanly to glibc 2.3.6.
