"I think so." Our RPC code in libc comes from Sun, and makes pretty
heavy use of the locking infrastructure in libc, which (now) works in
a multithreaded environment, with native threads. I believe that that
locking infrastructure was originally put in place for the benefit of
the RPC code. That said, I haven't personally audited it...

Note that the libc/pthread lock integration only exists for the native
libpthread, and not for PTH or ptl2.
