[ELDK] Problem with pthread_cond_wait on 8xx?

The chance is very thin.  None of the 8xx boards I have access to are
supported out of the box in a current 2.6.  So before I can do this
test, I fear I would need more time than I can currently spare, sorry.

Nevertheless, I was going to survey the situation. Maybe I'm lucky and
there is a pretty generic configuration to boot one of the boards with
minimal hw support in a short time frame ;)

Cheers
