I have no idea how useful/useless this is going to be, but IBM
is developing an n:m-multiplexing thread library for Linux.  I
have no experience with L4, but I do realise it is nothing like
Linux, so please ignore this message if there's no way that a
Linux n:m POSIX thread lib would help hurd on L4 :)
