Question: Does anyone understand the differences between freebsd-threads.c and thread-db.c in FreeBSD? Linux's gdbserver makes calls to thread-db.c and thread-db.c sits in the gdbserver folder in the 8.1 FreeBSD distro. However, I notice that fbsd-threads.c (which sits in FreeBSD\8.1\builds\8.1\kernel\source\gnu\usr.bin\gdb\libgdb) has similar functionality. Is the thread-db.c sitting in the gdbserver a relic from when it was ported over, and doesn't work with FreeBSD? Should one use the fbsd-threads.c to query the kernel for new and existing threads?
