If using the libpthread implementation in the Hurd is a problem, we could easily enable libpthread emulation in libpth untill NPTL is ported to Mach, like I did for the GNU/KNetBSD port (see my last mail in bug #218011) -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
