panic during openoffice build with libkse

This is definitly true. The build tools heavily use threads, and I
always had some of the tools breaking with either libc_r or now
libkse, libthr. We found one bug this way for libkse.

I just finished a build of OpenOffice and it seems to run fine !

What about HTT ? Can we use that to emulate several cpu's ?
