Hi,
 

It seems that the Boehm-GC needs to catch a number of pthread calls. 
This is not evident to implement in kaffe but I think I can do the 
following:

Any comments ?
   

why does the gc_pthread_redirects.h thing from boehm not
work? I mean if kaffevm/gc.h included a header file called
"gc-impl.h" from kaffevm/kaffe-gc or kaffevm/boehm-gc and
unix-pthreads/thread-impl.c included kaffevm/gc.h (and thus
boehm-gc/gc-impl.h), it should work, shouldn't it?
 

Yes, but I'd like not to have to include any boehm specific includes in 
pthreads.
If I do this, the unix-pthreads will be stuck with the boehm-gc once it 
is compiled.

If we want to have a '-Xkaffe-gc' to switch to the standard GC we may 
not be able to do so if we chose this way.

Cheers,
Guilhem.
