Are you asking what is the state of the work for changing the libthr
ABI by replacing object pointers with inline structures, am I reading
the question right ? (Sorry, english is not my native language)

I do plan to introduce inlined objects (most likely in the form of
libthr2 initially, i.e. cc -D_LIBTHR2 -o file file.c -lthr2). But my
plans are to get the existing patch for pshared into the tree for 11.0.
After that I wanted to implement robust mutexes, still in the context of
the libthr. Then libthr2.

Finishing the current patch for 11.0 is the immediate goal, while I did
not forget neither abandoned the inline alternative and do plan to work
on it.
