It's generic code. At least glibc keeps generic code around, if I recall correctly. Further, one of the very nice things about this libpthread is that it is really easy to integrate into a new OS (or even use in a kernel). It would be a shame to lose that feature. But, as I'm not doing the work, you are welcome to evict this code to make your life easier. Neal
