Uh, OK, I've just looked at it. The bits to make threads
arch-independent look pretty similar to my patch to me.
Perhaps you (or someone) could offer a more specific critique?
Failing more specifics, I'd advocate checking my patch in. That's

for those who might have lost track.

I don't think that waiting for future patches is a good plan. This
isn't just directed at you, HJ, it applies equally to all the Cygnus
threads changes which are in progress and/or planned. Especially
since just about everything being discussed (backlog, floating point,
libthread_db analogue, &c) is orthogonal to making the config
arch-independent.
