Attempting to build gdbserver with our copy of thread_db.h yields:

We used to have a workaround for this, but the patch to import
gnulib's stdint.h removed it:
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-06/msg00050.html
and defs.h made to always include stdint.h. However, gdbserver
doesn't include stdint.h in its equivalent server.h.
Rather than working around the issue, I've imported a more recent
version from glibc, which itself includes <stdint.h>. Other than
copyright years and FSF snail mail address, the file hasn't been
touched since 2003 in glibc. AFAICS, our version was updated last in
2000-09-03.
A note on the apparent license change: before the previous patch, this
file's contents were part of gdb_thread_db.h, and we can see that its
license's text was changed in this patch
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-03/msg00251.html>. That
was certainly just an easy to overlook grep/sed mistake that fell
through the cracks.
