... and as such is not available to amd64 users because of missing TLS  
(and more). Patches in P4, reviews welcome.

It is also not enabled by default on i386. One showstopper reason are  
some bugs in the futex code. Help appreciated (see  
http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/linux-kernel and emulation@ for more).

Bye,
Alexander.
