Hi, I resurrected the port of bionic (android libc) thread library I did a year ago. I put it on http://github.com/mat-c/uClibc/commits/uClibc_bionic (also in uClibc_bionic_fixes branch with some other fixes)
android thread library is minimalist : - use most of the linux kernel thread features (futex, CLONE_THREAD) unlike old linuxpthread. - it doesn't support thread cancellation (see CAVEATS file) - it misses some pthread functions : for example no barrier, missing *timedwait variant, ... - very basic gdb support that only work through gdbserver - some theoric race The arch-os depend part are very small : atomic operations (__atomic_cmpxchg, __atomic_swap and __atomic_dec,__atomic_inc), tls (getting and setting a thread local pointer) and exit_and_munmap. So it could be easily portable on other arches. I did some basic testing on x86. arm should work but is untested.
