M.K. is unresponsive, so no luck with him.

Anyways, I found a compiled version of LIBGTHRE.A inside GNAT3104.ZIP inside EZL1998F.ZIP on Simtel under /ada/ (here or here, srcs here). I haven't tried using it personally, but I assume it's worth a try! (If it doesn't work, try again with DJGPP 2.00. I think the conflict with later versions is some extra added signal handler.)
