This also includes limited pthread support. that sound great. So when can I expect to be able to port the MySQL database engine using MIT's pthread package on Cygwin? Will be Cygwin b21 threadsafe and pthread supporting? What do I have to do, to get the pthread support active within the latest source snapshot? Compile the whole cygwin1.dll? Which options do I have to configure manually for this?
