This is kinda important, I run DNS tools which are threaded amongst numerous other threaded programs a lot. What needs to be done to fix it?
I suspect it's going to require a kernel developer who is willing (and has the time) to tackle this as their own project, preferably someone who is trusted by Linus for having "good taste".
The only problem is that the set of people who are (a) kernel developers, (b) understand Posix threads in all of their ugly, gory detail, and (c) have survived with their sense of good taste intact seems to be relatively small.
