Linux thread debugging patch?

Linux thread debugging patch?

[Kevin Hise]

Is there a patch for 5.0 that corrects the problems debugging PThreads on
Linux?  I have tried a patch that affected 'lin-thread.c' but it had no
effect (I just make'd GDB and ran it without doing a 'make install').
Should I just wait for GDB 5.1 or 5.2?

Thanks for any help.

What problem debugging PThreads on Linux?  I was pretty sure that was working in 5.0...

I don't know if the capitalization of PThreads is significant here.
All I know is that GDB 5.0 supports LinuxThreads (which is the
standard pthreads implementation on Linux), but that support has a
couple of serious problems.  I almost completely rewrote the stuff for
GDB 5.1.  I don't think it is possible to create a patch for GDB 5.0.
So the only advice I can give Kevin is to get a recent snapshot, and
see if that works.
