That's not an error; that's gdb telling you where your app crashed.
You'll do well to issue gdb 'where' command at that point.

What was incorrect about debugging your app *before* you set this

There is no such thing as "app that is built with LinuxThreads".
A properly written application should (in theory) run correctly
with either version of libpthread.so.0
