I think it would be better on the whole to figure out a way to make this
work with target-async.  In the long run I'd prefer that gdb remove sync
target wait entirely -- that the default be target-async everywhere.

I don't have the answer to that I'm afraid.

I think this request means to switch to any thread for subsequent
non-continue/step requests.  So, ignoring it is almost the right thing
to do, I think the idea is just to ensure that some stopped thread is
selected.
