You should search the mailing list archives (probably -hackers and -current) for previous posts. Some work needs to be done to libc in order to properly support POSIX thread cancellation points. I think Richard Seaman volunteered to do this :-) I've got some stale patches to add pthread_cancel and friends to libc_r, but they will not support the POSIX mandated thread cancellation points without changes to libc.
