OK for me, if the developers here don't discourage this, as they
discourage using libc.pp

For me it has not to be  libc-free, but Michel, what is your opinion ?
I don't know the ipc unit. I'll take a look.
I suppose IPC is "Inter Process Communication" so supposedly it's not
perfectly suited for inter Thread communication (see FUTEX vs. MUTEX)

I'd like to

(1) do the code according to what the RTL developers say is the
recommended way and
(2) use the most suited algorithm (thus FUTEX) in the most agreeable way
(the one I know is via PThreadLib that AFAIK is done within libc, but
maybe the RTL implements something else and the developers recommend
this for the long run).
