So for example [PyHurd](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pyhurd/) can profit from the Hurd libraries instead of having to rely on low-level Mach bindings to implement Hurd features like translators. The switch to pthreads has been attempted multiple times, but in the past it always hit some tricky issues which proved to be a roadblock. Last year, Richard Braun took up the task again and finished the transition of the Hurd libraries and glibc to pthreads with libpthread. |
