I misinterpreted the indentation level at the first try.
So the paths reported above are a little bit different.
The problem is that we end up in the block below.

static void
thread_db_new_objfile (struct objfile *objfile)
    [...]
    /* Don't attempt to use thread_db on targets which can not run
      (core files).  */
    if (objfile == NULL || !target_has_execution)
     {
       /* All symbols have been discarded.  If the thread_db target is
          active, deactivate it now.  */
       if (using_thread_db)
         {
           gdb_assert (proc_handle.pid == 0);
           unpush_target (&thread_db_ops);
           using_thread_db = 0;
         }
       goto quit;
     }

objfile is NULL, why i couldn't figure out.
