+	  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.
