gdb is supposed to be usable on multiple archs and platforms; but
apparently they think linux == glibc; which is clearly not always the case.
the lwp_info and THREADDB stuff is used unconditionally, even though
they checked for HAVE_THREADDB_H during configure.
it would definitely help if they get your bug report, even if it serves
just a reminder that GNU is not alone out there.
once the critical mass of bug reports is reached, they will finally fix
these issues.
heck, even if they removed the braindead -Werror-by-default, this would
be a big improvement.
