We already have some pthread pretty printers in the glibc repo
(nptl/nptl-printers.py) and more pretty printers would be most
welcome.  There's a README.pretty-printers that should help you get
started in case you're interested in contributing pretty printers to
glibc.

Another work item here is to port the malloc pretty printers in
gdb-heap to glibc.  It apparently has some interesting features like
the ability to walk through the heap.
