Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-21 10:24:20 UTC
Yes, your kernel is way too old for nptl...
Comment 3 t35t0r 2006-11-21 10:54:31 UTC
so i if I don't use nptl nptlonly it might compile?
Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-21 11:22:31 UTC
Yes; for nptl you need 2.6.9 at least. In fact, the ebuild does check for this but your kernel version appears to whacky for the check to work. I'd strongly suggest to upgrade to latest stable kernel anyway due to the huge number of security issues.
