difficult to single all the thread.

No offense meant, but your C skills are not at a level where you should
be dealing with interviewers. Learn the language before you try to
get jobs in it.

I really don't have any idea what you mean by this.

gdb is not part of the C programming language. A good answer to this
question might be better formed by asking people in one of the GNU
newsgroups, where they have a lot more expertise with gdb.

I have not had noticeable trouble debugging multithreaded apps with
gdb, so, your mileage apparently varies.
