The Linux C library 5.2.7 has the MIT pthread kernel support. I run a
few tests and they seem ok to me. But the library functions are
different from the MIT pthread:
1. xxxx () is not made MT-safe if xxxx_r () is specified in POSIX.
2. Only those SunOS style getxxxbyxxx_r () are provided in addition
to POSIX.
