Sorry for the shortness of the response, but with my 2 year old son
screaming next to me to play chase, I could not get much more typed.
My stance is to do what is best for the community at large. I am more
than happy resolve the different branches. Carmelo's SuperH stuff is
against the uClibc-NPTL branch last I knew.

My NPTL thread code is from glibc 20050823, clearly older code. Joseph,
what glibc version did you reference for the ARM port?

I would like to have Carmelo's latest patch against uClibc-NPTL branch. If the
changes are not severe, then I would like to get SuperH into the current NPTL
branch first. If there are too many changes, then let's go ahead and create a
new branch and start merging.

Mike, I can create the branch so you can focus on trunk. Carmelo and Joseph,
after I hear back on the glibc reference version for ARM and what state the
SuperH port is in, we can proceed.
