  I think your best bet now is probably to make inquiries on the glibc list as
to whether it should be possible to build a completely thread-free version and
if so how; I don't think we're going to work it out here, it's best to get the
lowdown from the folks who really know.  Probably libc-ports is the one to
try; you're likely to find the SH maintainer there.

  BTW http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Linux has
some explanation about the use of kernel headers.



    cheers,
