The problems with the native threads vm are closely related to
problems inside the LinuxThreads library. E.g. the GC in 1.2pre2
doesn't run because pthread_cond_timedwait may miss notification from
pthread_{signal,broadcast} when it gets interrupted.

1.2 already has a JIT compiler and Linux definitively will support
HotSpot.

I really would like to work on optimizing the JDK, but we can't do
that until the JDK is stable and the porting of other APIs is
finished.
