Update to the most recent release of LinuxThreads, glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.2,
which is rather tightly coupled with GNU libc, unlike the older version of this port. LinuxThreads has added many features since it was integrated with GNU libc, which means that a number of interfaces that were borrowed from libc_r are no longer needed. This updated port required a lot of reworking of the port, so there are likely to be new bugs.
