 This is a list of things that still need to be done:
 
-* Fix the totally bogus _atomic_lock in arch/mips.
-  This is a nightmare because you really need to incur a ctxt switch
-  for pmaxen. R4000 has some instructions to do an atomic test-and-set
-  but not mips1. fuck fuck fuck. the ctx switch has to be sigsetmask
-
 * Add thread stuff to the other archs in libc/arch/; ie change
   some usages of ENTRY to SYSENTRY in some .S files and add
-  the new macros to their SYS.h. Only the i386 arch is working.
-
-* Finish/verify the md stuff for setjmp and atomic_lock for sparc and
-  alpha. Boy do they look dodgy.
+  the new macros to their SYS.h. 
 
 * Find a better way of doing the _sys_aliases stuff; ideally by
-  using the linker. jmp's (current implementation) are ugly, but
+  using the linker. jmp's and branches (current implementation) are ugly, but
   I don't want to have to hack ../libc/sys/Makefile.inc just to
   partition the syscalls into wrapped and non-wrapped. The `.set'
   assembler directive just doesn't work as I thought it would.
 
-* Fix the bug where _thread_init() isn't called when libc_r.so is used
-  instead of libc_r.a ... some kind of shlib common problem? may
-  need to use crt0 instead? __CTOR_LIST__ is just not being updated by ld.
-  Frankly this one is driving me nuts. Maybe <bsd.lib.mk> is wrong.
-  This varies on different architectures and exec format.
-
-* Test the objective-C compiler to see if it can use threads.
-  Really this shows up a nasty problem with needing to say -threads
-  whenever you want to use threads. Ideally, linking with -lc_r library
-  would override -lc; but the _POSIX_THREADS define would alter
-  some optimisations done in <stdio.h>... What to do!?! FreeBSD looks
-  like they are going to have an always-threaded libc with optimisations
-  for the 1-thread case and use weak symbols to override functions when
-  someone uses -lc_r. Do we have weak symbols everywhere? I wonder
-  what the performance hit is if #define LOCK() if(nthreads>1){lock();}
-  is used... need to profile this.
+* Test that thread_init is automatically called on every arch, regardless
+  of whether the exe is statically linked or not.
+
+* Alter the objective-C compiler to see if it can use threads.
+  It looks like the easy way is to just define CC='cc -pthread'.
 
 * Find all the static buffers in libc and make them per-thread. This
   is not absolutely necessary but incurs no penalty for single-threaded
