Not forgotten, just slow. The current state I believe is we should have NO_PTHREADS for AIX < v5.

But now after dhruva's observation I'm unsure what the desired change is for Windows. 8-( Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
