Re: attaching gdb causes pthread_create hang [gdb6.3, long subject]

You were right. System which I used didn't have tkill. Can you tell me if
tkill availability is strongly connected with glibc version?


It's rather the version of the kernel headers that matter.  There is no
tkill function in glibc, gdb is directly calling the syscall, but needs
to know its number which is provided by <asm/syscall.h> (indirectly
through <sys/syscall.h>).

So question from other side: is there any kernel version from which I can presuppose that it should have tkill support? Or maybe can I specify some linux system requirements which can assure that system supports tkill?
