This link is obsolete.


From Savannah (http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5487):
"... To gain greater portability, the libraries and servers should 
be ported to pthreads (which we also have a mostly functional 
implementation for in the Hurd)."

What exactly does the term "mostly functional implementation" mean?

Has anyone considered using GNU Portable Threads 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/) with the Hurd? Maybe they are 
easier to become "fully functional" since they are "portable".

Sorry for the overdose of questions.

Thanks,
Constantine
