This is similar to the fix for elf/tst-pldd (2f9046fb05):
it checks ptrace_scope value (values higher than 2 are too restrictive
to allow the test to run) and it rearranges the spawned processes
to make the target process the gdb child.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu with ptrace_scope set to 1.
libthread_db is loaded once GDB encounters libpthread, and at this
point, ld.so may not have been processed by GDB yet. As a result,
_rtld_global cannot be accessed by regular means from libthread_db.
To make this work until GDB can be fixed, acess _rtld_global through
a pointer stored in libpthread.
The new test does not reproduce bug 27744 with
--disable-hardcoded-path-in-tests, but is still a valid smoke test.
With --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests, it is necessary to avoid
add-symbol-file because this can tickle a GDB bug.
Fixes commit 1daccf403b ("nptl: Move
stack list variables into _rtld_global").
