It won't work on ISA 1. These machines will have to take the overhead of a sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) syscall which isn't implemented yet correctly. There is however a better solution for R3000 uniprocessor machines possible. My questions are: 1. Is the sysmips syscall implemented correctly yet? 2. What is the better solution for R3000 uniprocessor machines? 3. Does anyone have a patch for LinuxThreads that supports MIPS ISA 1?
