pthread port for nds

[m4c0]

Is there any way to compile GNU Pth for NDS? I made a lot of searches on Google without success - it seems pthreads needs libc signal support to work (and newlib does not have such support).

I guess it should work as well as Minix3 process scheduling on 8086 machines or like DSLinux (looks like it uses an old-fashion kernel timer). Unfortunatelly, I couldn't figure out what is the best way to do it on pthreads.

Is such port possible?

It really depends on what you want to do. In most cases you're much better rewriting your code to operate without threads - there's a fairly large negative impact on performance due to the limited stack space.

Actually, this is a requirement of some software I'm trying to port... I managed to port FSU Threads to NDS, but setjmp/longjmp crashes...
