C++ and pthreads

Has anyone been able to get a program written in C++ (using STL) and using pthreads to run succesfully on uClinux? Depending on which toolchain I use, I can get one or the other to work, but no...

In a no-MMU environment "__thread" variables are not available, this might prevent c++ in a threaded application.

In an MMU enabled environment atomic operations are not (yet) functional. This will result in a memory manager work either slow (using OS based locks) or not correctly (when trying to use the not yet implemented atomic functions).
