Re: Replacing target layer (2)

[Guilhem Lavaux]

Hi,

After inspection it looks like I am duplicating roman's and thorsten's 
effort. However I am still not satisfied by their patch. There is still 
an issue open with their patch which concerns the handling of errno 
which is absolutely not thread safe in the context of green-threads (at 
least). All syscalls must be protected in that case. I accept to take 
this new target as something we can work on though...

Regards,

Guilhem.
