It's just a matter of time before LinuxThread support is merged into
gdb proper. It's not a very straight forward merge as LinuxThreads
has been a moving target for some time now, there are dependencies on
the libc version, etc.
I know this is actively being worked on, but I don't know when it will
be ready.
