These are the suspended bug reports for glibc; now we are done with
2.1, it's time to revisit them.
* Pthreads bugs: 798, 836.
Pthreads rewrite is already planned. (Mark, Thomas: what
are the odds this will be done for 2.2?)
Depends on when we plan to release 2.2. Pthreads is really needed for
the Hurd so I hope to finish the general and Hurd/Mach-specific code in
a few months. I'm not planning to write the Linux-specific code
myself (hacking on the Hurd is much more enjoyable :-)). And the fact
that the kernel is almost lacking threads support it will not be easy
to write.
