It's true that it's a published external interface, but gdb should not use it
without testing for its existence. FYI we now provide dladdr in musl, but I
have not seen any good documentation on how to provide the thread debugging
hooks gdb wants, and it seems highly nontrivial. It would be helpful to have
this fixed, and for gdb to provide some minimal level of thread debugging
support without including half of the debugger in the program being debugged...
