Doesn't help from the point of view of seeing which threads in GDB match which debug output statements. On Linux this is easy as pthread_t is a uint printed by gdb. How about getting gdb to print the pthread_t pointer address instead? I don't care what the number is, so long as I can compare the thread listing in gdb to the debug output and it makes sense!
