gdbserver-6.6 threading support

[Jon Ringle]

Hello all,

I  found that during my testing of gdbserver and signals that I was not 
actually varying the gdbserver used on the target. I was always using 
gdbserver-6.5 and never gdbserver-6.6. When I actually did use 
gdbserver-6.6 or gdbserver-6.6.50.20070306-cvs, I get the following from 
my crossgdb:

 From other mailing list threads that I had read this seem to imply that 
there was some mismatch between my target's libpthread.so and 
libthread_db.so and the one in my host's solib-absolute-prefix. I found 
that the two sets matched. Further, if I rebuild gdbserver-6.5 and use 
the rebuilt gdbserver-6.5, it once again works.
