Description AL13N 2011-05-01 11:56:52 CEST 
Description of problem:

It seems gdb cannot find new threads in some cases:
since soundwrapper segfaults atm, this can be used to reproduce this problem:

1. install soundwrapper and quake2
2. gdb soundwrapper
3. r /usr/games/quake2.bin +set basedir /usr/lib/games/quake2
4. you see: Cannot find new threads: generic error

looking up this problem, i found: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/gdb-cannot-find-new-threads-generic-error-565411/

this explains that -pthreads is maybe missing somewhere, so gdb cannot find new threads...

a possible workaround for this is found in a linked thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/development/programming-scripting/412939-gdb-unable-debug-application.html

is this a real issue? should we find out where it should be linked with -pthreads?
