pthreads on HPUX

[benjohn]

There are some historical references to a problem with compiling Ruby
with pthread support for HPUX:

Although there is also a report here that it works:

http://www.rubyweeklynews.org/20050424

It looks like the "fixed" report comes directly after the "broken" one,
and some of the same people are involved. I would expect that the
current sitaution is "fixed", but I've not been able to find a blazing,
40 point: "it works - go install it" that I can convince people here
with. Could anyone in the know, please confirm the current situation?

Thanks you very much,
Benjohn

Sorry for the late reply.

This isn't any 40 point process, but maybe it'll do:

mental is the guy that wrote it, and he (apparently) uses ruby on hpux
quite a bit.
