AFAIK, yes. Main effort is w.r.t 2.7.0, however 2.6.8pre (latest cvs snapshot) even has enough to give you a working MOP (some difficulties, but relatively minor). Its certainly not CLtL1.

Does GCL have threads? Im not one to ask as I have never done any work along these lines with GCL. I do know GCL has multiprocessing support via an MPI interface. I have not come across an interface to something like NPTL or the like.
