Isn't libc_r the reentrant version of libc? I'm not too up to date with the whole threading business in C, and of course that's precisely where I'm stuck with on NetBSD. It seems that ucontext.h is missing in NetBSD. I thought that I could install GNU PTh to get a userland thread library to use, but it does not include ucontext.h. What's ucontext.h for? Where can I find some documentation on it? Who knows a lot about threading and the JDK implementation?
