- Remove libkse and related support code in libpthread from the build.
 Don't remove the files yet.  Kernel support will be removed shortly.

I think removing support to debug processes that link
against libkse is premature. You want to keep the
support for at least a full major release, but ideally
until the last release branch that supported KSE is
obsoleted.

Hey Marcel,

I thought about that but I'm not sure how it would work. Any debugging would have to happen on a kernel that supported KSE. That kernel will have to be 7.x or prior.

I was thinking about core files. There's no need for kernel
support in that case, but we do need suport in libthread_db
in order to extract thread state from the core file.
FYI,

Oh excellent point. I'll restore that. I can move the kse.h file from the Attic into libthread_db. I hadn't deleted the library or the thread_db yet incase something like this came up.

Thanks,
Jeff
