I updated FPC from SVN and it is pointing to this library now :-).
Only problem is someone took some changes I made to remove semaphore
on thread creation... If I would have known someone was going to
commit those changes I would have taken the time to move FSEM into a
block where createsuspended was true this way it wouldn't have event
effected others who need that barrier :-)

This was interesting "There exists a tracing tool for NPTL, called
POSIX Thread Trace Tool (PTT). And an Open POSIX Test Suite (OPTS) was
written for testing the NPTL library against the POSIX standard. "

to stop locking up on entry to breakpoint?!?  I know debugging threads
is nearly impossible under Linux (at least with GDB and Ubuntu)
