Please find attached a new thread test that tests GDB functions like
break, step etc from a thread function. This testcase uncovered a problem
in GDB32 on ppc64 machine due to a generic kernel bug in ptrace().

For example:

(gdb) break tf
Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000594: file tbug.c, line 15.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/public/test-tools/gdb/tbug
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
