Every pogram that links libthread_db.so.1 must provide a set of process
control primities that will allow libthread_db to access memory and
registers in the target process, start and stop the process, and lookup
symbols. ps_pglobal_lookup is always UND in libthread_db, and gdb should
have exported an arch version for the library to use :)
