I'm not planning to make any changes. When was this support introduced
in gdb? RedHat 6.2 shipped glibc-2.1.3, but the gdb binary is not linked
(at least not dynamically) to the new thread debugging library. 
So that's why I was wondering; I should really be doing some RTFM
through the gdb archives instead of spamming the mailing list. :)

Thanks.
