I am not quite sure. I see that i386/linux/syscalls.master has fork, vfork, and clone. clone is implemented by calling fork1(). Does this make sure that Linux threading is implemented using fork()? Or could it depend on the application or library layer, e.g. libpthread in linux_base? -- Regards, Georg.
