Well, SPARCv9 only ATM (GNU ld doesn't support TLS on elf64-sparc
yet).  SPARC < v9 could be IMHO very easily supported
(basically just remove the #error in lowlevellock.h, add some
define to signal pthread_*attr_setpshared (, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED)
cannot be supported and use that define in pthread_*attr_setpshared.c
to return ENOSYS), but it would need testing.
