No, it won't make much difference. We are currently providing pthreads
wrappers in Wine, and we'll need to do basically the same thing for
NPTL. So if the current wrappers don't work for Mono the new ones
probably won't do much better; we need to find a proper fix for that
problem regardless of the underlying thread implementation.
