+Subject: [PATCH] fix issues with gdb 8.0
+
+GDB 8.0 is compiled and linked with g++, but the
+linking of static targets (f.e. coldfire) fails,
+without declaring the functions in thread_db.h
+extern C.
+
+The compilation of gdb errors out with:
+thread-db.o: In function `thread_db_init()':
+thread-db.c:(.text+0x5b6): undefined reference to `td_ta_new(ps_prochandle*, td_thragent**)'
+thread-db.c:(.text+0x61e): undefined reference to `td_thr_get_info(td_thrhandle const*, td_thrinfo*)'
+thread-db.c:(.text+0x632): undefined reference to `td_symbol_list()'
+..
