! Recent versions of NPTL don't define these symbols at all; you must
! use the libthread_db event functions instead (td_ta_event_addr,
! ...) to find out about thread creation, thread exits, and so on.

! Older versions of LinuxThreads provide both interfaces. To avoid
! changing RDA's behavior on any system it supports, we use the older
! signal-based interface if present, and use the event-based
! interface as a fall-back. */
