(gdb) rb pthread_create
Function "pthread_create" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n

<function, no debug info> pthread_create@plt;
Breakpoint 2 at 0xc746a6
<function, no debug info> __pthread_create_2_1;
Can't find member of namespace, class, struct, or union named
"pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1"
Hint: try 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1<TAB> or
'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1<ESC-?>
(Note leading single quote.)
