That cures the problem on all systems. What needs to be done to get this
updated in the tip?

I don't know what is different, but I've tried it on RH 7.2, RH AS 3.0, and
Mac OS X. All hang in an infinite loop with the tip version of
thread_test.c, and all work if I add 'volatile' to the definitions of
errno1_set and errno2_set.

There's still the question of which version of the program is giving the
right answers - the 7.4.2 version or the tip version?

RH 7.2:

[wrp(at)cherry thread]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-112.7.2)

RH AS 3.0:

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-24)

Mac OS X:

% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
