If someone cares enough to work up a patch, Python's patch tracker is open all night:
I might be willing to try my hand at this, but I could use a tiny bit of guidance. (If you don't mind.)
It seems that the patch should only be activated for LinuxThreads, and should be tested for in configure.
I don't think it should be tested for in configure (or at compile-time at all). People will want to have binary distributions that work both with LinuxThreads and NPTL; some people actually switch back and forth on an application-by-application basis. It would be much better to check at runtime. Carl Witty
