miyuki added a comment.

> Given this new setup where build bots are checked into the repo, I think adding a bot that test this configuration would be a good way of making sure this doesn't regress. What do you think?

Yes, setting up a build bot is part of my original plan. I will be on holiday for the next two weeks, but I do plan to continue working on this after returning.

> Is there a reason why your platform can't simply provide the pthread or the C11 threading APIs, and libc++ has to provide this bridge instead?

The original intent of the external threading API was to make it usable with bare-metal real-time OS-es which tend not to have POSIX or POSIX-like APIs. For example, __libcpp_mutex_t can include the OS structure representing a mutex, instead of allocating it elsewhere.
