commit: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=ca1c74d67dd115d059a875150e10b8560a9c35a8
branch: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Native gdb makes a ptrace (GET_THREAD_AREA) which needs to return the
TP. however when libc sets up TP reg (for main thread), it doesn't call
arc_settls syscall so kernel doesn't know of TP register details
(moreso because clone doesnt have SETTLS flag)
Note that kernel doesn't know about r25 being TP etc.
This commit got lost in merge of NPTL tools into arc-mainline-dev and
showed up again as STAR 9000919529 (native gdb can't debug threaded
apps)
