In uClinux-land we generally build the C libraries (uClibc) as part of the build
process, and link them directly.  The patch you are referring to was to uClibc,
in the uClinux sources.

Nothing happened to the fix, it was just not relevant to the standalone mb-gcc
compiler suite.

If you want to do threads in MicroBlaze/EDK standalone apps, you need to use
Xilinx's own XilKernel (which has something that looks like pthreads), or some
other 3rd party microblaze/RTOS.

Hope this clears things up,

John
