Log Message:
Limit the switch_to_thread() calls in startup_inferior()
Do not jump over the threads during the startup unless we encounter
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED with SIGTRAP or TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD.
Otherwise whenever a startup-with-shell processes signals on the
startup stage, it might indicate to switch to a non-existing
thread or a special-thread number (target lwp=0 on NetBSD means
that a signal was directed to all threads within a process).
This caused a crash with tcsh on NetBSD, where the tcsh shell
runs startup detection of the hostname. This action involves
spwaning a new process through fork.
GDB crashes this way:
$ SHELL=tcsh /usr/bin/gdb echo
(gdb) r
Starting program: /bin/echo
/usr/src/external/gpl3/gdb/lib/libgdb/../../dist/gdb/thread.c:1309:
internal-error: void switch_to_thread(thread_info*):
Assertion `thr != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
