Has there been a port of glibc or makcontext, getcontex, swapcontext? I'm trying to port an application that uses these APIs to perform user space context switching. Any ideas of similar threading APIs to create and swap in and out a thread context?

You have to have kernel cooperation through sigreturn() (which is what sets the thread context), so it''s not a straight port in user space, since you can't necessarily do the necessary manipulation in user space alone.
