Hi Gilles,

thank you very much for the response.
I tried this out and found one strange thing:
When I run the following simple example (that uses the __real_pthread_ func=
tions)
the executable appears in the /proc/xenomai/stat list.
As I am calling __real_pthread_create() I expected that my program does not=
 appear
in xenomai at all.
Build is done using xeno-config --posix-cflags plus -O2 -Wall. For linking =
xeno-config --posix-ldflags=20
is used.

Another question:
Is there a special header file available that has some defines to map the p=
thread_xxx
function to __real_pthread_xxx.
By including this header I do not have to modify the C code of that files t=
hat should
use the non real-time functions.

Thanks for any response on that.

Regards

Mathias
