implementation quite like VxWorks, with (possibly) a single threaded
program running instead of init. The neat thing is that the same threaded
process can run in a multi-user workstation environment too.

initialized mutex. Statically initialized mutexes are actually
initialized at first use (pthread_mutex_lock/pthread_mutex_trylock).
To prevent concurrent initialization by multiple threads, all
static initializations are now serialized by a spinlock.

case, don't return an EINTR, just set the thread state to running and
the wait4 wrapper will loop and get the exit status of the process.
propagates a bug (that there is no poll wrapper in libc_r), but it
prevents GNU configure scripts from trying to use it in preference
to select. libc_r really needs to change it's wait interface to use
poll instead of select because poll is more a superset of select that
the other way around.

This looks like a big change but it isn't. It should reduce the size
of libc_r and make it run slightly faster.
with -D_LOCK_DEBUG. This adds the file name and line number to each lock
call and these are stored in the spinlock structure. When using debug
mode, the lock function will check if the thread is trying to lock
something it has already locked. This is not supposed to happen because
the lock will be freed too early.
Without lock debug, libc_r should be smaller and slightly faster.

for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the
process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO
and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other
signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now
left to the kernel, not the thread kernel.
Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and
call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the
signal pending.
Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with
a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type
of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context
switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance
degradation the people have noted.
This is a *big* change!
