I am currently bootstrapping on another system. I added "nptl" to the USE flags. I started scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh. It gave me an error about sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.0 being masked so I edited the build and added x86 to KEYWORDS and ran scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh again. Will this leave me with a from-scratch NPTL-enabled system?
The main thing you need to remember is that to get an NPTL enabled system you need to actually run a 2.6 (or redhat) kernel. Else the moment that you try to use a threaded application it will fail. This basically means that you probably want to use either a 2.6 livecd, or delay nptl until you rebooted your own kernel.
I'm currently bootstrapping my new install from within my old install which is running 2.6.1. Is this sufficient? I'm currently in the 'emerge system' step and it seems to be going okay.
