It only means that I can guarantee correctly working product in
environment there're it was tested (i.e. at user threads only level).

Don't get me wrong -- I'll be happy to try libthr and libpthread as
soon as I'll be able to do it.  Local problems here prevents me
from complete cvsup right now :-(  Also I have to make complete
pass of TCK tests (at least VM tests -- more than 8000 testsets)
before saying anything.

I have spent a lot of time to get rid libc_r internals usage
in jdk14.  pthread_attr_get_np() was a conclusion and allowed me
to switch from API to ABI compat mode.
