System built itself natively on Mark's machine.
Using pthreads. But no stack walker (I'm lazy and didn't even try it).
Mark reports some GUI apps working.


Would be cool to get this in Hudson but I think the current machines have too old Java.

> And in userthreads, if there is no get/set/make/swapcontext, you can change the #if at the top of ThreadPosixC.c to try sigaltstack.
> Also the userthreads Makefile has -lpthread in it, which you'll maybe want to remove...depending on if there is pthread_atfork, i.e. you  might want to tweak this:
> jbook2:cm3-boot-ALPHA_OSF-d5.8.2-20100713 jay$ grep pthread_atfork *c
> RTProcessC.c:      int i = pthread_atfork(prepare, parent, child);
