There is work in progress that will replace libpthread with a version
that shares code with libc. There are still design issues that haven't
been resolved which prevent libpthread from using objects built into
libc (as opposed to building a separate libpthread from the same source
as libc).

You can forget about the code that is currently in /usr/src/lib/libpthread.
I think it should be deleted because it is not being maintained and _can't_
be used as a starting point for an integrated libpthread/libc.
