I've had that problem before, and it's not a PPC problem. GDB doesn't handle signals that it hasn't been explicitly told about, and it seems that the pthreads library uses an odd one (signal number 31). I have a quickie diff against gdb 5.0 to add support for that signal at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~cemerson/patches/gdb5_sig31.diff which may hopefully let you get as far as the real problem.
