I just got libc 5.1.2 unloaded...(along with ld.so-1.7.3)

What the story now with mit pthreads support (lots of it seems
to be in libc...)  How do I compile/what do I need with MIT 
pthreads?

Also, what will have to change to have kernel based pthreads?
Pthreads is something I'm very interested in.  Is there any
work underway to move pthreads into the kernel?

I'm not sure I necessarily like having the MIT pthreads functions
in libc (for all practical purposes, we can have pthreads programs do 
things with -D -L and -l ...)
