In the context of using the remote gdb with multiple

use the packet 'H op thread-id' with op = 'g' to change focus to the
inferior we want to insert/remove the breakpoint to, for instance
'Hgp3.3' and not 'Hcp3.3'.
This is supported by the documentation of the H packets:

This can also be verified in the GDB source code file gdb/remote.c.
Functions remote_target::insert_breakpoint and
remote_target::remove_breakpoint will eventually call
remote_target::set_general_thread if it needs to change the process
focus and not remote_target::set_continue_thread.
This can be seen around a comment that says:
/* Make sure the remote is pointing at the right process, if
necessary. */

Where can we find more information on this bug ID?
I tried various query in the Google public tracker but
couldn't find anything.
