That sounds rather ambitious. Let us know if it works and how fast or slow it seems. I'm not overly optimistic about the pthread emulation performance, but one never knows.
You may run into problems with the Pth pthreads implementation being non-preemptive which does not technically violate the pthreads specification but some programs expect preemptive behavior.
It should make for an interesting experiment anyways. The "real" glibc pthreads implementation is still coming down the pipe and will make more utilization of the unique Hurd characteristics. It should be quite exciting when it is finished!
My Hurd installation is kind of in disrepair for the moment as I am in the process of moving and haven't had much time to tinker with it lately. At least most of the computers are back online now. Just sold my HP9000 715/80 and replaced it with a 64-bit C200 too, quite the upgrade!

My Gnu Pth (pthreads) hack for Hurd is still available on my netwinder server at http://www.gyrodynamic.net but I have not tested it or done much else with it.
I've download it, compile it and install. I've compiled succesfully Qt-3.0.2 with pthreads. I've successfully use QT example programme. Now I'm trying to compile KDE, but I have many problems!
