If any pthread library should be ported to BeOS, I would say it should
be the Haiku one. I believe it just uses the BeOS compatible thread
functions in the kernel. Though I am sure there is some Haiku-specific
code in there somewhere, maybe the TLS stuff.
But I am of the opinion that work like this to backport things to BeOS
may not be a good use of time, and I do not think any Haiku developers
can afford to spend time on it. If someone else chooses to do it, that
is fine. Though again I do not think it would be very useful. As much
as we all love BeOS (enough to clone it), Haiku is where the current
focus should be.
