This support is not available in glibc 2.24. It has been added in glibc 2.25 that is currently being packaged.

Bug#868247: libc6-dev: Please include the GDB pretty-printer python macros for GNU libc in the libc6-dev package
Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.24-9ubuntu2.2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, The GNU libc source package has a set of GDB pretty-printer macros written in Python, which are of immense use when debugging code with GDB. In particular there are a suite of pretty-printer macros for the pthread library that display the contents of mutexes, condition variables, etc. in a readable way. After building the GNU libc package they can be found for example: $srcdir/nptl/nptl-printers.py $objdir/nptl/nptl_lock_constants.py (both are needed). The lock_constants file is generated during the build process. It would be extremely useful if these files could be included in the dev package, somewhere, so that we could take advantage of them while debugging. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers zesty-updates APT policy: (500, 'zesty-updates'), (500, 'zesty-security'), (500, 'zesty'), (100, 'zesty-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.10.0-26-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libc6-dev depends on: ii libc-dev-bin2.24-9ubuntu2.2 ii libc6 2.24-9ubuntu2.2 ii linux-libc-dev 4.10.0-26.30 libc6-dev recommends no packages.
