Yes, if you're running in linux emulation mode, and if you compile kernel/world with COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS, and if your app is compiled on a linux machine (or, if you can figure out how to do it, cross-compiled for linux on a FreeBSD machine). The question addressed some patches that allow a linuxthreads "port" to run. In other words, you want to compile a FreeBSD app, or a port of a linux app, to run in FreeBSD native (no Linux emulation) using the ported linux threads that also run in FreeBSD native. The linux threads "port" is realistically just a 1-1 kernel pthread implementation. The idea is that some people might want a kernel thread library, and this is a quick and easy way to get one. -- Richard Seamman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
