Hello! What is the status of the <subj> for -stable? The cc's man-page
says:

       -kthread
              Link a kernel-threaded process  against  libpthread
              in  addition  to libc.  Objects linked into kernel-
              threaded  processes   should   be   compiled   with
              -D_THREAD_SAFE.

But the practice yields:

	mi@misha:~/tmp (113) cc -kthread t.c
	/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot open -lpthread: No such file or directory

Am I right assuming, kernel-threads may, actually, run in parallel on a
multi-CPU machine, while the -pthread ones will not? Thanks!

	-mi
