Yes and no. The other part of the code that's not done yet is in the
actual thread creation. Try to trace through the pthread_create call,
you'll find that the code gets confused when the Mach thread has
to be created. I got confused then because I found two different functions
which seemed to do the same thing, __mach_thread_setup() and
__mach_setup_thread(). One was already in the glibc and the other
was only in the pthread patch. And didn't finnish sorting through them
when I stopped working on the code.
