One note: That threads patch was applied to the Debian gdb some time ago and has caused me a lot of trouble... It is i386 specific, i.e. if you apply it, gdb will compile only on i386. So if someone adds it again, please do it on a dynamic basis, i.e. apply it at build time only if the build arch is i386. Roman
