Good news.  All I needed to do was setup Kegel's crosstool.sh by adding
the following to my powerpc-405.dat file:
GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--without-fp"

to

GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--without-fp --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads_db"

And used crosstool to rebuild the tool chain.  That resulted in the
library gdbserver needed to run.  I need some instruction from Dan on
how to rebuild just a component, after this type of config change, so I
don't go through the 2 hour crosstool run.

As I mentioned, the library doesn't exist.  I need to build it, but I'm
not sure where it comes from (glibc I think) or how to get it built.
Its a target library, so I have to build it for ppc and deliver it to
my target box.  That part I know how to do, its creating the library to
begin with that I don't know how to do.

Wherever you got glibc from you should have gotten libthread_db.so.1
also; maybe it just wasn't installed?
