Yes, write an object pascal version of it, which accesses the kernel
directly and bypasses the C library.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. There are only like 36 methods to
implement. Depending on how hard will be to hook into the kernel...
The kernel thing is easy, just a vfork() call, if I'm correct.
It's all the rest that is difficult: synchronization, mutex, semaphores :)
I don't know about other Unix variants, but for Linux one should use
"clone" to create a thread.
See also this example by - I believe - Linus himself:
