If your applications require pthreads, answer Y.

+ depends on UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
+ help
+ Say Y here if you wish to be able to debug applications that use
+ uClibc's pthreads library. By enabling this option, a library
+ named libthread_db will be built. This library will be dlopen()'d
+ by gdb and will allow gdb to debug the threads in your application.
+
+ IMPORTANT NOTE! Because gdb must dlopen() the libthread_db library,
+ you must compile gdb with uClibc in order for pthread debugging to
+ work properly.
+
+ If you are doing development and want to debug applications using
+ uClibc's pthread library, answer Y. Otherwise, answer N.
