Strange.. I thought that was in 1.3.2. Oh well. Anyway, the static
initialisers are the last thing on my list of to-dos for pthreads. There
are well-defined dynamic initialisers that can be used, and some thread
models (such as the win32 model) don't have any equivalent for static
initialisers.

Thats a must. There are some serious problems "in the kernel" - as
opposed to a header file issue which is all the missing macro is.
