Maybe we could simply just give it a try (after the upcoming release),
follow the autobuilds, and see how it works? I guess maybe Yang may
have some input on this, he did a lot of work with the autoconfig,
also for Solaris.
I have been reading the manpages, as an alternative to setting
_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS there's also the more global option of
setting _POSIX_C_SOURCE to a value >= 199506L
but I'm not sure how that would work out (although I do that in some
of my own code).
