gdb includes a script to make generating core files trivial. Add a package to
allow inclusion of this script in images. GDB also requires symbols that are
usually stripped from the threads library to properly generate a core dump.
Therefore, ensure when gdb is installed the necessary debug file is also
present so gdb is fully functional.
