Hi Mumit,

thanks for clarification! I've misinterpreted:

> Robert, The first "simple" testcase is gcc itself (configured with 
> --enable-threads=posix), since gcc uses a very small subset of pthreads
> functionality, and that's what I'm going to try as soon as I get a 
> chance to update my local tree.

and implied "gcc uses" as "gcc uses ... during compilation"
instead of "gcc supports"!

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms AT icon-gmbh DOT de)
