Hi Folks,
If I recollect correctly back about nine months ago, back when Igor was
working on porting Kaffe, the question of pthreads arose. This was because
pthreads were required for a full port of Kaffe. Thomas and Mark said, if I
am not mistaken and I may be, that they did intend to implement pthreads in
the hurd. Not for the hurd 0.3 but somewhere down the road a bit (a fair
bit?).
