I suppose one question (for which I don't have the answer at the moment)
is does the current Solaris x86 libthread implementation modify the LDT.
If it doesn't, than it sounds like we're set. BTW, it probably wouldn't
be the end of the world if this is only true of newer Solaris versions.
As it stands now wine doesn't seem to work on any version of Solaris x86.
I'll look further at the issues when I find the time.
