I tested putting a breakpoint on the function "thread_routine" of the
attached program, and it works. Could you send us a minimal program
where this does not work ? 

Another detail: in order to correctly debug threaded programs, gdb needs
the libthread_db library, do you see the following line when starting
gdb:
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

You may be reinventing the wheel, there is a xenomm projects which
provides a C++ interface to the native skin, see:
