pthreads, glibc2.1.2 problems

[kd at flaga.is]

Hi,

Could someone verify for me that pthread_create() does not block
indefinitly on their embedded system setup (or even pmac would be great
too).
My setup is glibc 2.1.2 with fpu and cache patch applied , kernel 2.2.5 and
gcc 2.95.2.
The following short program, compiled with gcc -static pthreads.c -o
pthreads -pthreads
blocks at pthread_create() for no apparent reason (when run on ppc823). The
same program compiled on i386
(same glibc, kernel 2.2.1 and same gcc and same compile flags) runs fine.

Thank you

K.D.

void* funcA(void* arg)
{
     int i;
     int* times = (int*)arg;

     for(i = 0; i < *times; i++)
     {
          sleep(1);
          printf("threadA : %d\n", i);
     }
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
     int res;
     int argA;
     int statusA;
     pthread_t threadA;

     argA=10;
     printf("Create thread A\n");
     res = pthread_create(&threadA, NULL, funcA, (void*)&argA);
     assert(res==0);

     printf("Joining thread A\n");
     pthread_join(threadA, NULL);
}
