Ok, I just tried and noticed 2 things. First of all something changed
with the way libtool identifies sources. The lines in Makefile.am that
do "mv fasttime.o fasttime_pt.o" and "mv timer.o timer_pt.o" have to be
removed.

But basically if you run "./configure --enable-pthread ; make" it will
build the test programs linked against liblwp_pt in the src-pt
subdirectory.

The testprograms are named cswitch_pt, rw_pt, tdb_pt and testlwp_pt.
Ok, it looks like there is a problem with terminating all threads
nicely, when the testprograms finish they fail to exit and start
burning 100% CPU.

Coda on your cellphone :) I like the idea. Does Symbian provide a TCP/IP
stack that can be used for data transfers over GSM?
