Going very well and, in particular, I would like to note that: The thread-test in the pixman package which has been failing for over year 10 years on real Alpha hardware now passes! I have now successfully built guile-3.0 with threading support! Previously guile would lock up on Alpha if threading support was enabled. So there are some very long-standing bugs seen in user space that are fixed by this patch series. Cheers, Michael.
