changes in sbcl-0.8.21 (0.9alpha.1?) relative to sbcl-0.8.20:
  * incompatible change: thread support for non-NPTL systems has
    been removed - locking is buggy and unreliable.  A threaded
    SBCL build will now warn at startup and refuse to create
    new threads, unless futex support is detected in the kernel


So it may have the feature compiled in, but doesn't do anything
unless you have NPTL (Kernel 2.6, or 2.4 with a backport).
