generic error with a statically linked multithreaded program

[Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>]

I found gdb can not run a statically linked multithreaded program on
Fedora Core 6.

Tested with gdb 6.5-15.fc6rh (FC6), gdb-6.6 vanilla and
gdb-6.6.50.20070405 snapshot.  All behave same.

$ gcc -o ./hello -g hello.c -lpthread -static
$ gdb-6.6.50.20070405/gdb/gdb ./hello
GNU gdb 6.6.50.20070405

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./hello 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Cannot find new threads: generic error
(gdb)

And gdb can not exit normally with "quit" command.

(gdb) quit
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y

Then gdb hangs.  At this point, the target program is still stopped.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
void *func(void *data)

	return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pthread_t tid;
	pthread_create(&tid, NULL, func, NULL);
	printf("hello world\n");
	pthread_join(tid, NULL);
	return 0;
}

My environment is:
kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6
glibc-2.5-10.fc6
gcc-4.1.1-51.fc6

If I compiled the program without -static, gdb can run it normally.

Is this gdb problem, or limitation, or problem at somewhere else?
