Let me start by saying that I probably I don't understand the
situation well enough to make sure I'm making any sense here, but if
it turns out that fixing the problem in guile is really hard given the
current pthreads "self" implementation, I wonder if we might be able
to come up with an alternate implementation and get it accepted
upstream...
