Ok, I'm a but confuzzled by all these threading libraries. Now we have
libc_r, libthr, and libpthread? How can I alter the behavior of "-pthread"
to use a different library? As far as I can tell, only libc_r is actually
linked in with a buildworld, so when is it planned to make these
available? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Which library is
more complete? Can someone do a summary of some sort to help out the
consumers?
