[Q] linux kernel threads

what's the status of the development work on kernel pthreads?

i'm trying to port several packages to linux requiring pthreads and
the autoconf scripts are ... ummm ... interesting ;-)

i notice that lateish kernels have the MIT headers, and i believe the
libc sources include this code - is this to become standard? does it
wrap the clone() syscall? is this work awaiting voluteers to be
completed?

thanks,
