Subject: When will CLONE_THREAD be available in a thread package?

A bit off topic, but....

CLONE_THREAD has been in the kernel for a bit, but is their a threads
package for user land that uses it? If not when?

Right at the moment nothing uses it - and its rather useless. I've been going
over the small version of the ibm patches which do finally seem to offer a
way to get the signal behaviour for posix thread crap right without punishing
sane programming.
