    Couldn't read floating-point and SSE registers: No such device.
    (gdb) 

where I hoped to see the debugged copy of gdb would print its version
message.

This is on an old k6-2, so, umm, I think there's no SSE registers.  But
I don't know what device "No such device" is meant to refer to -- if
nothing else it could include that in the message.

The problem doesn't happen to every program, maybe it's only related to
threads.  I struck it trying to run up /usr/bin/debugperl and the debug
Gtk libs.
