Are you still intending to work on this? If so I'd like to discuss
some issues with you regarding the ABI -- things like the values to be
used for the enums, etc. -- because we have someone working on C11
threads for musl libc and I want to work out a common set of values
for these constants and possibly other ABI issues rather than having
gratuitous incompatibilities here.
