I just tracked this one down.  I had only tested with DODEBUG
enabled.  Well it turns out I was being a bit overzealous at
stripping libpthread when DODEBUG was disabled, which
unfortunately prevented PTHREADS_DEBUG_SUPPORT from working.

Care to try again with the latest and greatest uClibc?  
gdb needs to be linked vs uClibc so it can dlopen uClibc's 
libthread_db which allows it to debug libpthread,
