This is a thread_db limitation, not a GNU/Linux limitation. GNU/Linux copied the interface from Solaris and I believe we use it on Solaris. The effect there will be even more extreme than on GNU/Linux. Yes, we do use it on Solaris. If threaded corefiles work on Solaris I doubt it's by merit of thread_db. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
