That is still an issue. Currently on Darwin I suspect you can have
either threads or GC, but not both. This will be fixed when Apple
release the new version of OS X with fully working pthreads (hopefully
they will finally fix their ctype.h as well ;-) We could work around the
problem by making mach thread calls directly, but it would be cleaner
and less fragile to have Darwin using the linux/posix threads code path.
Also, we don't seem to support shared libraries on Darwin - we need to
get a newwer version of libtool in order for this to work, I think.
