Thanks for the pointers.  I have tried some of the test
programs from champoll.tar.Z and they seem to compile and
to run flawlessly.  I have also tried to compile p7zip_9.20.1_src_all.tar.bz2
but I do not have yasm installed thus the build failed.
May be you want to give the port a try.

The only reason why I ported it was that I was trying to
port pkg-config-0.29.1.tar.gz and the include glib requires
among a lot of other libraries also a thread library and in
the end it was easier to port one than to try to rewrite a
single threaded code version of glib.  I was aware that
there was already a port of GNU pthreads but it had some
issues IIRC.
Because the FSU pthread library was the second pthread
library available that used to have some DJGPP support
I decided to port it to DJGPP 2.05.  May be it is of
some use for someone else.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
