trying to find a (compat) way to move to nptl (when ready)

[Peter S. Mazinger]

Hello!

I am trying to remove libpthread dependency from a dev box, so that if 
nptl is done, we can move "smoothly" to it, looking for an update path.
Attached is a patch that corrects the case if UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS is not 
enabled (removing related headers on install)
at least 4 functions are calling for trouble (missing from the non-thread 
version of uClibc)
_stdio_user_locking
__rpc_thread_destroy
flockfile
funlockfile

I have overcome this by adding dummies to a shared lib that was preloaded 
until the apps were rebuilt, that needed these.
Does anyone have an idea how this could be integrated into uClibc, so that 
an update path could be provided?

Thanks, Peter
