This makes me nervous. What exactly are you proposing to do to gcc?
Why would it have to depend on any thread package?
I sent a message the other day, but it bounced because the lists were
down. IMO, we should stick with MIT pthreads as included in libc5.
It has been available for quite a while and is reported to work,
though I don't know of any Debian packages using it. We can switch to
LinuxThreads when we go to libc6. FYI, LinuxThreads is already
available as a compile-time add-on for libc6, so I would expect it to
be well supported.
