Yes, that would probably help.
It would have to include the latest glibc, etc
(see https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phil-list/2003-February/000541.html
for *exactly* which glibc to use).

This environment would both let anyone verify that
Wine doesn't run in that environment, and provide
a posix-compatible threading environment to use
to test winethreads-over-pthreads.

However, it's not clear to me that's required
for developing winethreads-over-pthreads.  People
could probably get started on that with their
current Linux, even though it's not 100% posix-compliant,
and has odd quirks like using a special management thread, etc.

Yeah, all you wine threading gurus, please speak up :-)
