Thanks! That's some good news.

Yeah, seems like that would make sense. Especially as one doesn't have
to deal with figuring out SP_OFFSET and FP_OFFSET, which seems to be
quite tricky on arm-linux, for example.
Tim, what's your take on this? I've seen that JanosVM 1.0 includes a new
threading system, jthreads2, would it make sense to merge it in, and use
it instead of jthreads where possible?
