I haven't used gdbserver much, but I can at least tell you not to
worry about thread-db.o.  That's not appropriate for cross-debugging
configurations; it's only used for native debugging.  That file acts
as the interface between GDB and the libthread_db.so provided by the
operating system; when cross-debugging, it's gdbserver that needs to
link against the libthread_db.so, not GDB.
