So far that it was a pretty safe assumption. All systems pkgsrc
supported so far had a more or less non-broken thread implementation.
This included basic thread fallback functions in libc. I strongly
suggest you actually adopt lib/libc/thread-stub for MirBSD. The goal
here is to avoid thread overhead when a program is not actually going to
create threads without requiring libraries to change the ABI.

Alternatively, there is a separate package with stub locking functions
that libX11 could depend on for MirBSD. Like I said, noone needed that
so far.
