And what if one implements a non-posix based implementation (of Free Pascal's own design) support for kernel threading? eg: Start with Linux, then implement others like OSX or *BSD if they support kernel threading. I did a quick Google search, and there are a lot of multi-threading libraries which implement kernel or user-space multi-threading which are not based on POSIX standard. Here is one such list - there are many more. Not all listed in this link are POSIX based. http://linas.org/linux/threads-faq.html The WINE project faced a similar problem. How to implement multi-threading support from Win32 on a Linux kernel that didn't have all the same features or API. Read the page linked for more information - it makes for interesting reading. http://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/threading Anyway, my first thoughts is the same as Henry's - what would change between distros?
