 |  The fix for kern/43128 adds the missing kernel bits for GDB to support
 |  threaded program debugging.  The other part needed is changes to GDB
 |  itself.
 |  
 |  Attached is a patch that does this, tested on i386 against the GDB 6.5
 |  sources that are in NetBSD 5.0.  I intend to submit this to the GDB
 |  project as well but was asked to provide a patch against the GDB rev
 |  that is currently in NetBSD.
 |  
 |  There is a patched mipsnbsd-nat.c as well as common and i386 specific
 |  files, but I did not make the build file changes for that so that file
 |  is untested.  I also did not look at any other platforms.  The changes
 |  should be straightforward using the mips and i386 examples as the
 |  starting point, but since I have no way to test them I did not want to
 |  attempt changes for any other targets.
 |  
 |  Comments appreciated.
 
 Looks good to me.
