--- Comment #5 from Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil at redhat dot com> 2012-07-15 18:30:11 UTC ---
By Roland McGrath f2f, IIUC:
GDB can already iterate TIDs based on readdir(/proc/PID/task/).
Just TID->pthread_t translation and TLS variables access has currently no
equaivalent without libthread_db.
Therefore drop libthread_db, Roland proposes / will accept Python based
equivalent.  Even drop libthread_db from gdbserver, Python can run at GDB (not
at gdbserver) as libthread_db-like-Python-implementation has no arch dependency
like libthread_db.so has, it can run from client GDB with small gdbserver
protocol extension packet for PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA and maybe some others.
