NGPT, which is in 2.4.19pre3, aims to provide IRIX threading for Linux, so
it may not be true for much longer that "Irix threading that has no Linux
counterpart". From the NGPT page (http://oss.software.ibm.com/pthreads/):
"Goals
The goal of this project is to attempt to solve the problems associated with
the use of the pthreads library on Linux. It will add M:N threading
capability and improve significantly on the POSIX compliance of pthreads on
Linux. This will allow significant performance improvements for all
applications that make use of the pthreads library, particularly on SMP
machines. It will also enable Linux to provide threading services that are
more in line with the capabilities of the commerical Unix operating system
such as IBM AIX and SGI IRIX."
