While we're on the subject of LWP and threads... (I'll just hijack my 
own thread here if you don't mind ;) ), I have noticed a while ago that
glibc compiled with 2.6 kernel headers and gcc 3.4.x + coda is a bad 
combination. You can read all about it in a bug report that I submitted: 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58702

I'm not certain if you can use this information, but I wanted to make 
sure you are aware of it. Just in case you get bug reports about it.

Maurice.
