The new linuxthreads does work and is at this moment shipping in
products. I posted a patch some time ago to update it to the latest
version of linuxthreads upstream (and fix a serious bug in the
process) but it does not seem to have been applied. I've attached it
again if anyone's interested.

I am aware linuxthreads doesn't build for some architectures but it
should really be fairly easy to fix.
