I am currently trying to add pthreads support to uclibc, but don't see 
how to do it exactly. In glibc it is built as a part of glibc's tree, 
and I didn't succed in bringing the sources to be compatible with 
uclibc. There are many parts, like linuxthreads_db, that are completely 
missing from uclibc.

Erik, if you already started working on this, please enlighten me how 
did you plan to do it. I saw several mentions of "pthread" all over 
bits/ files, but seen no implementation, not even scheduling syscalls.

Thanks.
