At the time I had originally written this patch, I rather considered it
to be a hack than a proper fix -- I just needed a functional GDB on
GNU/Hurd back then.

I think that update_thread_list (which already is exported) should rather
be invoked instead of additionally exporting prune_threads.

But -- I can no longer reproduce the original problem with GDB HEAD.  Can
you?
