Jonas currently fpc2.1.1 doesn't compile on 2.1.1 with:

rtl/units/i386-freebsd -di386 -dRELEASE ../unix/cthreads.pp
cthreads.pp(252,42) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got
"LongInt", expected "Pointer"

Note:
unixtypes thread_t = pointer
pthreads.inc thread_t (BSD and linux) = cInt {linux is Longint but
that's just bug)
pthreads.inc thread_t (Darwin) = pointer

Result of pthread_most = cInt
Result of ThreadManager.Killfunctions = DWord

This is some serious mess. First the threadmanager functions need to
return a signed result, second the pointer vs cInt stuff has to be
properly cleaned, remove thread_t from unittypes etc.

I'd do it myself but am asking for reasons against.

Ales
