Perhaps compiling a UML 2.5.*-based kernel and making a small LFS-style root filesystem downloadable would be a good idea?
Yes, that would probably help. It would have to include the latest glibc, etc (see https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phil-list/2003-February/000541.html for *exactly* which glibc to use).
This environment would both let anyone verify that Wine doesn't run in that environment, and provide a posix-compatible threading environment to use to test winethreads-over-pthreads. However, it's not clear to me that's required for developing winethreads-over-pthreads. People could probably get started on that with their current Linux, even though it's not 100% posix-compliant, and has odd quirks like using a special management thread, etc.
However, I think the question is for those wine developers that grok and hack the threading code; is there something along these lines I (and/or anyone else) could do to help you?
Yeah, all you wine threading gurus, please speak up :-) - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
