the pthread implementation of SDL_SemWaitTimeout() uses busy waiting, while
pthread's sem_timedwait() does work. Attached are patches that make use of it

branch : SDL-1.2
SDL_SemValue() always returns 0. That's because the underlying POSIX
sem_getvalue() is implemented as a noop in Mac OS X. Apart from that,
semaphores do work properly (at least according to test/testsem), so I'm not
sure if this is worth fixing at all.

Subject: Re: Updating SDL for RISC OS
I've attached a zip file with three diffs to get SDL to build on RISC OS.
configure.in.diff and makedeps.sh.diff have been modified so that they
can build the assembler file in video/riscos. You may want to double
check these as I don't know a lot about unix shell programming.
(I've tested them cross-compiling on cygwin).
sdlsysthread.diff is the changes required to SDL_systhread.c for RISC
OS. As you suspected with these changes in place you can delete the
RISC OS specific threading code in thread/riscos.
I've also renamed SDL_riscosASM.s to SDL_riscosASM.S, but I'm never
quite sure how to rename files in CVS, so if you could to this it would
be appreciated.
