I also sent a mail message asking for the diffs so we could make it
available on all the linux platforms. I use both RH 5.x on my Intel box,
and MkLunix on my PPC. And if they can make the port team's efforts easier
in porting the JDK to linuxthreads for native threads port I am all for
it. This is not an easy task. I am one of the folks working on this and it
is slow going. There is a big difference between the threads Sun uses and
linuxthreads which are in reality pthreads.
I too have not heard back from them, as soon as I do I will share the
message with the group!
Cheers,
Bruce...
