I have to tell you that linux-threads, aside from being incomplete,
do not work. In fact, the version that's in CVS right now doesn't
even compile.
However, I have outstanding changes that make it compile.
The reason I had checked in this unfinished work is so that I could share
it with a guy from Australia, who wanted to work on it. However, I haven't
heard from him for a while now.
While I think I have an idea of how this may work, I'm still getting
lots and lots of seg faults, mostly due to memory corruption, in various
places. Plus, the latest version frequently deadlocks.
It does pass HelloWorld, though, and even compiles stuff.
Since I don't have the time right now, I check in what I have: feel free
to use it or ignore it or whatever.
