The version of GDB installed is 6.8, so I guess that is rather old.

It is important for MIPS gNewSense to have a version of GDB
which is well maintained for the MIPS.

(2) Specifically should make sure we do not have this bug

"""
BTW, glibc-2.10.1 is ready in my overlay. This version could solve the gdb issue:
Error while reading shared library symbols:
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error
This happened previously when debugging multithread applications.
