In addition, I'm also missing reentrant variants of getpw{uid,nam}.

And I think <pthread.h> pollutes the global namespace in an unfortunate
way, e.g.

	struct pthread;

	...

	typedef struct  pthread                 *pthread_t;

Wouldn't it make sense to use "private" names for the opaque struct?
I.e.

	struct __pthread;

	...

	typedef struct __pthread *pthread_t;

If that's accepted in general, I'd of course be ready to prepare a
diff.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
