   I finally realized that the FILE structure is different in pthreads
and that libg++/libstdc++ are poking around in the FILE internals, so
it wasn't going to work. However, I did build a version of libg++/libstdc++
with pg++, and that let the pthreads code use cerr. The basic steps I
took were:

ln -s /usr/include/sys/* /usr/local/pthreads/include/sys/
ln -s /usr/include/* /usr/local/pthreads/include/
make CXX="/usr/local/pthreads/bin/pg++ -I." CC=/usr/local/pthreads/bin/pgcc DESTDIR=/usr/local/pthreads
make CXX="/usr/local/pthreads/bin/pg++ -I." CC=/usr/local/pthreads/bin/pgcc DESTDIR=/usr/local/pthreads install

   The second time around I also had the sense to change LIB=g++ and
LIB=stdc++ to LIB=g++_r and LIB=stdc++_r, respectively, so that I
didn't have to worry about conflicts with the existing libs. BTW, it
seems to work with both static and dynamic linking.
   Thought this might interest some people...
