Fair point, but in the real world we are shipping an application that
needs to use non-DCE threads and a bunch of other libraries whilst
providing DCE RPC services.
Anyway, it looks like we have something that works for NPTL with both
LinuxThreads and NPTL APIs. All's well that ends well (well, at least
until the pthread structure layout changes!).
