 It may be worth pushing through GDB's gdb.threads/tls-core.exp test case, 
making sure no UNSUPPORTED results have been produced due to resource 
limits preventing a core from being dumped (and no FAILs, of course), with 
o32/n32 native GDB.  This should guarantee our output is still as expected 
by an interpreter.  Sadly I'm currently not set up for such testing though 
eventually I mean to.
