Well it looks very cool, the native threads work and even my old libtya.so
version 1.0 works with it right out of the box, which is amazing, I
thought the differences in thread implementation would break it.

But my scandinavic letters don't work even in their glibc port, which
leads me to suspect that something is very wrong with the configuration of
my machine itself, not the ports. If I just knew what.


Testimony of native threads :)
