this has been fixed in -current, and pullups have been in the queue for
a month now but are not yet applied.  to get working pthreads on sun4c,
you need both a new kernel and a new libpthread.   these are the relevant
changes:

cvs rdiff -r1.155 -r1.156 src/sys/arch/sparc/sparc/trap.c
cvs rdiff -r1.17 -r1.18 src/sys/arch/sparc/include/lock.h
