+	* Makefile (libpthread-routines): Add ptlongjmp and spinlock.
+	* internals.h: Add definitions for new spinlock implementation.
+	* ptlongjmp.c: New file.
+	* spinlock.c: New file.
+	* spinlock.h (acquire): Don't reschedule using __sched_yield, use
+	new function __pthread_acquire to prevent deadlocks with thread
+	with different priorities.
+	Patches by Xavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr>.

+     threads with priority >= our priority to make progress and
+     release the spinlock.
+   - If a thread with priority < our priority owns the spinlock,
+     calling sched_yield() repeatedly is useless, since we're preventing
+     the owning thread from making progress and releasing the spinlock.
+     So, after MAX_SPIN_LOCK attemps, we suspend the calling thread
+     using nanosleep().  This again should give time to the owning thread
+     for releasing the spinlock.
+     Notice that the nanosleep() interval must not be too small,
+     since the kernel does busy-waiting for short intervals in a realtime
+     process (!).  The smallest duration that guarantees thread
+     suspension is currently 2ms.
+   - When nanosleep() returns, we try again, doing MAX_SPIN_COUNT
+     sched_yield(), then sleeping again if needed. */
