I don't see any reason why threads should need to wait until after
387.
A patch in the hand is worth two in the bush (Cygnus also has quite a
few threads patches/rewrites in the bush, which sound good from what
I've heard, but I'm not putting off all thread work until they show
up). If people want to make the threads configuration stuff
arch-independent (which I agree is the clean solution), that's OK.
But if no patch to do so is forthcoming, I'd vote for checking in
robertl's sparc patch (minus the ptrace header kludges) until this can
be done right.
