At least, util now, there is no binary compatible problem. but I would like
we will implement SIGEV_THREAD before 7.0, this is why I requested you
to implement it ASAP because you claimed you will do it, so I just
sit back. Current only libthr implemented SIGEV_THERAD for timer, I can
implement it for mqueue, but aio syscall interface sucks, need more time 
for it.
