I still have my multithreading patch series

task that delaying an impending release for it isn't likely (the
mbtoupper()-removal patch made that series one patch shorter though,
since one was to deal with that function's thread-unsafety). I've
been rebasing it periodically and running it on my own system in
/usr/local without any problems for a while now, for what that's worth.
With current HEAD from savannah though, all check-very-expensive tests
pass for me on Debian stretch with gcc 5.3, glibc 2.22, and Linux
kernel 4.3.
Thanks for pinging us about this. Sorry, I kind of dropped the ball on
this one. I will try to bump its priority. There are some other
long-pending patches that also need review. I agree that these shouldn't
delay the next release, but perhaps it could delay the release after
that....
