The following error occurs on my ~ppc system. I used nptl and nptlonly for the glibc. ...

i'm pretty sure module-init-tools is just fine, your glibc is broken try re-emerging it
Works fine on x86 and amd64 with nptlonly ...
Interesting. I reemerged my glibc with the old useflags (nptl and nptlonly) [why do linuxthreads no longer work together with nptl??] and the same version and now the other programs like module-init-tools work. What could have happened?
older versions of strip from binutils incorrectly destroyed TLS information which manifested itself as the error you saw
(In reply to comment #4) > older versions of strip from binutils incorrectly destroyed TLS information > which manifested itself as the error you saw OK, that could be. I updated my system not long ago. Thank you very much.
