I just mean to say that it may be a better plan not to rely on NPTL (as
good as it may be, it sure looks good) because most people just don't
have it yet and probably won't have it for a while either. Therefore,
to say that all GNU software will go there "in the near future" just
seems a little too optimistic to me.
It is an interesting discussion point which library we should target
first. IMO it should be one that most people in our "target audience"
have at their disposal. I guess that would be LinuxThreads, and since
NPTL is mostly backward compatible with that library, I would like to
see the first low-level runtime should be based on LinuxThreads.
I'm perfectly fine with LinuxThreads and I realize that NPTL is a bit new,
but the problem is that gcc is not suppose to run just on Linux, so a
general threading model would be better.
Any thoughts?
