not that I know of, but a friend of mine has on on order and we should be
trying to fire it up within the next couple weeks with SMP

I cvsuped the world on december 3, which worked fine except for the emacs/ld

We have libc_r (a substitute for libc) for PTHREADS.  But be aware there is no
kernel threading (yet) so you won't get increased performance by writting
a program as threaded, since it will all run in one process.
