Please add weak stubs of pthread_*() in libc.so and use the name libpthread instead of libc_r (that is the name that everyone, e.g. autoconf, looks for) as made in Solaris (and OpenBSD, I believe). This is the reasonable thing to do and will finally end with the messy libXThrStub that is used currently to enable threads support in X. -- Carlos A.
