It's not just portability to other forms of unix, it's portability to older versions of glibc as well - some Wine users are using for instance Xandros which is based on pretty old components now, any reimplementation of Wine threading would have to take that into account.
Well, I'm not suggesting we drop support for glibc 2.[012].x systems. First question is 'Is it possible'? If it is, would we want it? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Only then can we ask 'Can we do it in a clean way, without dropping support for the old glibc?'. Can we do it at runtime or must it be a configure-time thing? And so on...
