[Bug nptl/5983] Stale threads from TD_TA_THR_ITER of the FORK child during PTRACE_SYSCALL

Thanks, the Fedora 9 GDB has now automatically fixed its functionality/testcase:
    gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: child: multithreaded: *

Used for the testing the scratch build `glibc-2.7-2.bz5983.1'.

For the `forktest' testcase I had to use the prelinking workaround as
elfutils-0.133-2.fc8 does not seem to contain the fixes present present in MTN
"HEAD".  That elfutils bug was unfair. :-)  Also sure I forgot about PS_GETPID.

Closing as it is already comitted in the glibc CVS.

If you mean you rebuilt your own libthread_db to use with a previously installed
libpthread, then that is not expected to work.  libpthread and libthread_db come
as a pair built from shared source, and you need a new libpthread build if you
add something to structs.def.

Note that due to elfutils bugs your test case doesn't always work on x86_64 when
libpthread is not prelinked.  To include a regression test in glibc, we can't
rely on elfutils libraries anyway.  It might not be practical to make a test
case for this that fits into the libc suite.

I've committed an nptl_db fix to the trunk that I think should cover it.

See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/roland/task_531585/ for F-8 glibc with
the patch.  (sudo sh /etc/cron.daily/prelink after rpm upgrade.)

Problem verified only on Fedora 8 glibc-2.7-2.x86_64, IMO still exists in HEAD.

Possible broken fix.

Patch modifies `nptl_db/structs.def' breaking whole glibc nptl.

Testcase.

It is not a PASS/FAIL testcase suitable for glibc, it needs to become quiet +
evaluating its result.
