The tools you mentioned clearly don't use OpenOCD's RTOS support or
GDB's thread info for that anyway, as neither provides any info about
things you mentioned (semaphores, queues, allocators, ...). So that
hypothetical change that I suggested neither prevents nor enables them
to do that. And if these tools do that now, they do that by directly
accessing target memory via GDB, so no special support for anything
like that is required.
