Merge in the pthread library. This is the linuxthreads library taken from
glibc 2.1.3 and ported to work with uClibc by Stefan Soucek and Erik Andersen (me). Stefan has hacked things up such that linuxthreads runs on MMU-less systems (tested only on arm-nommu). Erik cleaned things up and made it work properly as a shared library. -Erik
