--- Comment #2 from John Baldwin <jhb at FreeBSD.org> ---
Long term I plan to replace the THREADS option entirely with a native threads
target I plan to write for upstream gdb that will use ptrace() directly. 
fbsd-threads.c is buggy and it's not easy to fix some of the issues due to the
complexity of trying to support older KSE threads.  The new thread target will
require some ptrace() changes however, so we will still want THREADS as an
option for older systems.
