This is again for interactive work like .gdb_index was.
For non-interactive backtracing (ABRT) the threads have no benefits.

In the past I thought GDB should work fine just with DWARF symbols without ELF
symbols.
For example read_var_value looks up for LOC_UNRESOLVED only ELF symbols and
ignores not global DWARF symbols, there are more places like that one.
So far I have given up on the without-minsyms goal, it requires also gcc
changes how DWARF is produced. It may be nice but it is IMO too much work
just cleaning things up without user visible effect.

Jan
