futexes, PI and uclibc

Hi all,

I'm writing a chapter in the upcoming revision of Building Embedded Linux
Systems. In the chapter I talk about futexes and the new Priority
Inheritance support (robust futexes as well).  This is only supported if
the libc supports it too. So my question is,

1) Does uClibc support futexes
2) Does it support PI futexes
3) Does it support robust futexes
4) if not, will it support it in the future

We're about to go to print soon, so any information regarding this would
greatly be appriciated if returned soon.  Otherwise I'll have to just
leave out a reference to uClibc in this section.

Thanks,

-- Steve
