Have you tried gdb 4.18 on Linux? It lacks many important features
added/fixed in gdb 4.17.0.x. People have been working on it. But it
may not be there until 4.19. So for the time being, Linux has to use
gdb 4.17.0.x if you want to debug thread, FPU and reliable hardware
watchpoint on x86.

BTW, I am working a patch for AMD new chip. I will make 4.17.0.14 after
I get confirmation.
