The current gdb snapshots have fairly decent support for pthreads. I'd be
careful though with "complex, threaded C++ applications". That has always
beed a problem with gdb (at least on other platforms where threads were
supported). This is - at least partially - due to the inherent, er,
weirdness of C++.

Elinos does support pthread debugging btw.
