[RFA]: test suite: recognize GDB message for unsupported threads

[RFA]: test suite: recognize GDB message for unsupported threads

[Jim Blandy]

Without this change, the test suite hangs on Linux systems that have
real-time signals, but lack libthread-db.

2001-03-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@redhat.com>

	* gdb.threads/linux-dp.exp: Recognize an additional message
	generated by GDB when it doesn't understand how to debug threads
	on the target system.

It seems like an "obvious fix for me.

OK with you Michael Snyder?

Cool.  As the new but not yet announced co-maintainer for gdb thread testsuites,
I approve.  Please check it in.
