Beyond the pthreads mutex Please don't. The emulation is an overkill here and the overhead is painful for ISA I systems, which are usually not the fastest ones. This has already been discussed here. If you want to go for speed and use ll/sc on an ISA II+ system, then compile glibc for ISA II or better. It will never call sysmips() then. -- + Maciej W.
