wiz 8b5179c21c Add CAVEATS section:
Due to limitations in the current pthread implementation, makecontext(3)
and sigaltstack(2) should not be used in programs which link against
libpthread (whether threads are used or not).

Wording from drochner@ and ad@

Bump date for man pages.

Add note in libpthread/README so it's not forgotten to update the man
pages when the problem is fixed.

When making changes to libpthread, please ensure that libpthread_dbg
still compiles.
Due to limitations in the current pthread implementation, makecontext(3)
and sigaltstack(2) should not be used in programs which link against
libpthread (whether threads are used or not). This has been noted in the
makecontext(3), sigaltstack(2), and pthread(3) man pages.
