pthread issues

Hi,

I am trying to run a pthread based application on the AMD au1500
mips processor for linux version 2.4.21pre. The pthread_create function does not return, i am attaching the strace of the process, where pthread_create() is the call after the write statement "Creating a thread". The thread seems to go into a sigsuspend mode after doing a clone() and it never seems to return from there and so the thread creation operation does not complete.

Are there any patches that i need to apply or Are there any specific
define flags to be enabled for compilation. Please let me know if i can run thread applications on mips.

Thanks and Regards,
rahul
