The HPPA pthread fixes and more are now installed on trunk.  HPPA is no longer broken.

The following test results were obtained with a clean trunk build yesterday:

A few fails may be timeouts.

I have two patches remaining at the moment.  The first fixes unaligned accesses in the resolver.  It was discussed
on the list but not approved.

The second updates the handling of __gmon_start__.  It installed in Debian.  However, it requires a complete rebuild
of all applications and shared libraries to remove the presence of __gmon_start__ in every shared object.  I don't plan
to install it unless Gentoo adopts the change as well.
