A variant of this code has been tested on amd64/i386 for some time by
EMC/Isilon on 10-STABLE/11-CURRENT. It builds on other architectures, but the
code will remain off until it's proven it works on virtual hardware or real
hardware on other architectures

ctfconvert will corrupt object files that are compiled with -g, if it is
not run with -g itself.
To fix it, remove -g from CFLAGS in lib/librt/Makefile. If you need to
compile this library with debug info, use DEBUG_FLAGS=-g instead, which
will work correctly, even when using WITH_CTF.
for them, two functions _pthread_cancel_enter and _pthread_cancel_leave
are added to let thread enter and leave a cancellation point, it also
makes it possible that other functions can be cancellation points in
libraries without having to be rewritten in libthr.
Similar to libexec/, do the same with lib/. Make WARNS=6 the norm and
lower it when needed.
I'm setting WARNS?=0 for secure/. It seems secure/ includes the
Makefile.inc provided by lib/. I'm not going to touch that directory.
Most of the code there is contributed anyway.
Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).
Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
