        lib/libpthread/pthread.c: revision 1.109
Fix the comparision function used by the red-black tree global thread list
implementation:
-don't return a difference, this can overflow
-don't try to substract typed pointers which don't belong to the
 same object, this gives undefined results
This fixes instabilities of programs which use more than a handful
of threads, eg spuriously failing pthread_join().
