	Your approach likely will work as well, but it seems like a large
amount of machinery for something that should be simple.

	On the other hand, my suggestion may turn out to be a short-term
fix instead of a solution if the individual thread model on the command
will become important in the future.  I don't really have enough insight
to know.

	I am not disagreeing with your original patch, just pointing out
that there may be a simpler alternative.

	Yes, this seems to be sufficient for the cases at hand.

	Am I correctly assuming that gthr-aix.h will be recognized as
glibcpp_thread_h and installed as gthr-default.h?  That should avoid a
requirement to teach gthr.h about AIX threads or having GCC emit
-D_PTHREADS to trigger gthr.h machinery.
