Hi, The NSPR needs an invalid value for pthread_t, which the Hurd doesn't officially have. I had proposed them to use -1 (since that would mean that there are something like 2^32 threads running, which just can't be...), but they don't seem to have accepted this (the patch seems to have been turned into a #error instead... No actual mail feedback).
Since pthread_t is typedefed to int, maybe we can define PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX to INT_MAX to actually set an official limit (that limit exists anyway since above INT_MAX the comparisons in libpthread become bogus), and then tell them they can really use -1?
