Does anyone know if it is possible to port the Number Theory Library (NTL) on the Phi?

Thanks in advance, 

Tasos K.

The NTL description at http://www.shoup.net/ntl/doc/tour-impl.html says 

NTL is neither thread-safe nor re-entrant, and making it so would require a fundamental redesign

Since the whole point of Xeon Phi is to enable highly parallel codes, porting a non-thread safe library seems unlikely to be productive.
