Do we have a definitive explanation of just how bad the current wine/pthread incompatibilities are, and/or where current efforts are at? I'd not known there were any efforts to get wine working with nptl (hence my perhaps exaggerated alarm) until the link to Ingo's kernel patch was posted (aug2002 moreover) which suggests at least that some people *are* working on this (phew). I would be very grateful to know what the status is. Anyone? TIA.
There are no known current efforts. However I talked to Ulrich today and he said (and I agree) that it will be way easier to implement threading on top of (nptl) pthreads today. Just no one started/did it yet. And we do not need the glibc developers, the ball is in our park ;) Ciao, marcus
