The particular thing about the program is that is doing a pthread_attr_setstack
to setup the thread stack to a dynamically allocated memory area on heap.

pthread_attr_setstack(&attr, alignedStackBase, THREAD_STACK_SIZE -
2*PTHREAD_STACK_MIN)

When attaching to an already running program (which uses pthreads) on
gentoo/x86, GDB loops indefinitely 

Here is a small dump from strace which goes forever

open("/proc/6204/mem", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
pread64(7,"\220{\237\266\220\r\253\27\220{\237\266\1\0\0\0\200\351\363\267\0\0\n\377,DRv\0\0\0\0"...,1136,
3063905168) = 1136
close(7) = 0
open("/proc/6204/mem", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
pread64(7,
"\220;\254\266\210\1\253\27\220;\254\266\1\0\0\0\200\351\363\267\0\0\n\377,DRv\0\0\0\0"...,1136,
3064740752) = 1136
close(7)                                = 0
