LinuxThreads is dead. NPTL is the way and the light.
It has ELF TLS which for super-fast thread-local storage, proper per-thread signal semantics, as well as not using USR1,USR2 in ways that mess up signal-handling. It also has kernel support for user-space mutexes (strange as that may sound).
Well.. Linuxthreads or NPTL, they are going to conform to pthreads standard right? In fact NPTL is supposed to be better conformant than linuxthreads.
