Thank you for your reply. I looked at my i386 system and saw that some magic is used for libc there (different optimizations and different thread libraries are used for different processors and kernels etc.) but I do not fully understand how this works. I do not know how to set this magic up to work on x86_64. However, I suspect that this magic is not necessary on amd64 since the amd64 archive works without it. Do we really need linuxthreads on amd64? We do not (and will never) support 2.4 kernels on amd64, so I guess it is not necessary to have linuxthreads. I recompiled the whole archive without having linuxthreads in the glibc binary packages and only five packages needed minor changes to build properly with that setup.
