lll_lock on PPC

Subject: lll_lock on PPC
Organization: SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany

Hi,

if I look at the lll_lock implementation on ix86 and PPC, it seems
to me, that on ix86, lll_lock will only call lll_mutex_lock, if
the program is linked against libpthread. But on PPC, lll_lock is
always called, which can lead to a deadlock.

Is this correct?

  Thorsten
