mmm cool - so how would I go about getting the current libpthread?
Firstly, I have built the kernel (as well as userland tools) via
build.sh script (i.e. I upgraded NetBSD v3 to netbsd-current from cvs
inclusive of kernel, userland tools as well as pkgsrc)... so if
libpthread is a part of the whole system, then should it be already in
sync? Secondly, (in case if it was a part of pkgsrc) I had a look at
packages, ( in /usr/pkgsrc/devel) but there were only two pthread
entries (something like pthread-stublib which was indicated to be for
old NetBSD versions and pthread-sem which did not seem to be
relevant)...

Kind regards,
Leon.
