Yes, I have a build mostly fixed, the problem is we ran out of space in
pthread_cond_t to implement the new algorithm _and_ support old-style
Linuxthreads initializers.

So I guess a good question for you and Dave is:

* Should we stop supporting compat with old style static linuxthreads
initializers?

* Should we continue to support compat old style static linuxthreads
initializers, stealing 1-bit from the group size structure in the new algorithm
which would have a barely noticeable extra load on overflow.

Thoughts?
