It may be worth pushing through GDB's gdb.threads/tls-core.exp test case,
making sure no UNSUPPORTED results have been produced due to resource
limits preventing a core from being dumped (and no FAILs, of course), with
o32/n32 native GDB. This should guarantee our output is still as expected
by an interpreter. Sadly I'm currently not set up for such testing though
eventually I mean to.
