--- Comment #3 from Torvald Riegel <triegel at redhat dot com> ---
I don't that a exposing futexes would be the right approach. It is too
low-level an interface for many clients, I believe. While currently, pthreads
mutexes will accomplish a lot through use of futexes, this isn't necessarily
going to remain that way to the same extent.
Howard, have you tried using semaphores more extensively?
Regarding 32b/64b compatibility: Maybe this can be considered for something
like a semaphore; but even there this is not quite trivial.
