Same here, apart from this and misspelled "pthred_detach" in the commit 
message, the patches look good to me.

Regarding the POSIX requirement to run sigev_notify_function in the 
context of a detached thread, while it's possible to observe the wrong 
detachstate for a short while via pthread_getattr_np after these 
patches, I'm not sure there is a standard way to do that. Even if it 
exists, this minor issue may be not worth caring about.

Thanks,
Alexey
