Mark Kettenis did substantial work on a native implementation of
pthreads as part of the glibc. I continued the work and implemented
most of it, but then I ran out of free time. There are still a
couple of small but important pieces missing and it has to be properly
integrated into the glibc build. You can get the latest effort
from either http://alcor.concordia.ca/~i_khavki/ or
http://www.fprintf.net/hurd/.
