I've looked at this. It would need extensions before it could be used
for gnat; however, I think this is based on a different draft of
P1003.4a than FSU/PART pthreads. It's missing many things, most
notably pthread_kill, and most of the scheduling routines.
It would probably be much easier to just use the FSU pthreads code and
write the small amount of assembly required (the rest uses C_CONTEXT_SWITCH,
etc.)
