Tor Egge 20fa307449 Check for NO_PIC and NO_PROFILE on FreeBSD >= 6.0.
Add sys/_pthreadtypes.h to allow compilation on FreeBSD >= 6.0.

Initialize signal trampoline variables earlier to avoid race in wrapper
around sigaction.

Fix known API wrapper bugs.

Port compile time options:

  Add option for using an alternate restart signal instead of SIGUSR2.

  Add options for adjustment of maximum thread stack size and maximum
  number of threads.

  Make all options start with LINUXTHREADS_

Note that complete FreeBSD source matching userland must be installed
in /usr/src when compiling this port.

Plaintext

LinuxThreads is an POSIX pthreads implementation using "kernel threads". In
this FreeBSD port, a kernel thread is started using rfork (whereas in the
original Linux implementation a kernel thread is started using the Linux clone
call). This implementaion provides a so-called one-to-one mapping of threads to
kernel schedulable entities. For more information see about the original
LinuxThreads implementation see:
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/
Note that LinuxThreads has been integrated with the GNU C library (glibc) since
version 2.0, so the above URL points to dated information.
The complete FreeBSD source code matching the installed userland
must be installed in /usr/src before building linuxthreads.
