Description Dizzy 2003-11-06 06:09:35 UTC

Hi

I just done a build of glibc with NPTL on a 2.4.20-20.9 based kernel (RedHat9
NPTL enabled kernel). ebuild complained about kernel version (not beeing 2.6.0)
but after modifying it I succeded in having a stable glibc. I run a mysql on
that NPTL library/kernel and all seems fine.

Reproducible: Always

Problem currently is to ensure that we have the correct kernel headers ...

The check for the 2.6 headers is best for now.  If you use redhat's kernel, then you can modify it yourself, but I don't think putting in extra cases for this fringe (and now dated) special case is worth it.
