Also take a look at
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/pthreads/

Which is "The Next Generation POSIX Threading Project is a derivative of the
excellent package GNU Pth.". According to them, "This version achieves near
full POSIX compliance.", so it is probably preemptive, not cooperative,
threading. They also say, "The goal of this project is to attempt to solve
the problems associated with the use of the pthreads library on Linux. It
will add M:N threading capability and improve significantly on the POSIX
compliance of pthreads on Linux.".
Apparently NGPT needs a kernel patch that is already included in kernels
2.4.17, 2.5.4 or newer.
