Hi Daniel and Andreas,

Does gdbserver works with NPTL on ppc32? I use 6.3.50 and I keep
getting on the target side:

        gdbserver 47.129.74.85:8888 p_greetings2
        Process p_greetings2 created; pid = 288
        Listening on port 8888
        Remote debugging from host 47.129.74.85
        error = 0
        error = 0
        Cannot find new threads: generic error
        error = 0
        Cannot find new threads: generic error
        error = 0
        Cannot find new threads: generic error


and on the host side:

        target extended-remote 47.135.196.213:8888
        Remote debugging using 47.135.196.213:8888
