libc_r is gone, replaced with libpthread libpthread is changed to fix specific reported problems, most recently (early Feb) a bug fix in dup2 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] librthread seems to be stagnating, waiting upon kernel work that no one is either interested in or, if interested, has the time to do. I'm not even sure there is consensus on what kernel changes are needed. For now libpthread (userland threads) are the most useful for most threaded applications. There are still bugs. libpthread based applications get no benefit from running on multi-core/processor machines. // marc
