pretty decent patch for pth-1.4.1 which you can
get here:
http://www.geocities.com/doug_hilton/
I decided against posting it to the list as it was around 8k when gzipped.
I have run minimal tests so far, but the pthread test appears to be working.
To build it just do "./configure --enable-pthread"
I will send the diff in to GNU shortly.
Q: Should I make a patch for Debian's pth-1.4.0 ?

This, I imagine will be a bit of good news :-)
I had to do some severely ugly hacking to get configure past the well-known sigaltstack problem, but once I was able to do this, I was able to compile pth using the following configure switches:
./configure --with-mctx-mth=sjlj --with-mctx-dsp=sjljlx \ --with-mctx-stk=none --enable-pthread
What we are doing here is taking advantage of the fact that pth provided for the 2.0 linux kernel which did not have functioning sigstack or sigaltstack, to the mctx-dsp=sjljlx was an i386 dependant hack around the problem.
My hypothesis was the Hurd-i386 would be similar enough that this would work. I was able to compile pth and it passed its self-tests all OK.
Certainly further testing is in order, and I will attempt to make a Hurd-friendly patch for pth and get it posted asap.
