Unfortunatelly effort is stalled now. I have started back in August porting
based on linux hotspot sources, but there are a lot of differences in
(primarily) stack management between FreeBSD pthread and LinuxThreads.
After spending of unreasonable period of time in attempt to rewrite
stack management I had to stop and switch to Solaris source base.
Switch was succesfuly done in begining of September - no one of previously
existent linux problems appeared, but instead I got few very specific
problems with signals there. Deep kernel signalling and libc_r signals
handling and talk to Daniel shown that this scheme (solaris based) will
not work for -STABLE 100% correctly (it worked somehow after some hackery)
until {get,set}context() functions are MFCed (along with other stuff).
I have hoped to get a testing machine to setup -CURRENT last week and
continue, but still not have it :-(
