and also add experimental support for POSIX semaphores in FreeBSD
7-STABLE and up. The option knobs PTH and SEM respectively are
added to enable this behaviour.
Python is able to use POSIX semaphores for thread synchronization
in threading, and prefers them.
The multiprocessing module in Python 2.6 requires POSIX semaphores,
however, the FreeBSD rtld and malloc need further work to allow
a process to call pthread_create() immediately after fork() as it is
not something allowed by a strict interpretation of the POSIX specs;
therefore allow GNU Pth to be used until the situation is resolved.

runs its signal handlers, not to a random thread that happens to be
executing at the time when signal arrives. This functionality has been
lost since Python 2.3, possible cause is that the linux implementation
of POSIX threads always delivered signal to the main thread. This
bug results in rather annoying inability to terminate threading script
with ^C for example and there could be other issues as well.
