That means the linker removes libpthread.so and gdb can't work without?
"
program gdbthread;
{$mode objfpc}{$h+}
uses
 cthreads,sysutils,msethread;
begin
end.
"
or
"
program gdbthread;
{$mode objfpc}{$h+}
uses
 sysutils;
begin
end.
"
work. So I must remove cthreads from the console program template and hope the 
users don't forget to add it if they use threads. Possibly a new effect with 
binutils with the dynlib fix.

Thanks, Martin
