[commit] MIPS/Linux native NPTL support


This patch adds NPTL libthread_db support to the native mips-linux port.
It should work for all three ABIs, although only a 64-bit GDB can debug
threads on a 64-bit debuggee; the current libthread_db interface does not
permit anything else, since it has pointer-sized variables.

Tested and committed.
