The number of threads doesn't matter, but the thread interface you use. POSIX threads is of course the best choice for you. Unfortunately, they are not supported on the Hurd (yet). We have cthreas, but that's a bit archaic, and you might or not might want to support this. (Few do). Beside that, if you stick with POSIX and GNU extensions in glibc, you are fine for the Hurd.
