I am currently bootstrapping on another system. I added "nptl" to the USE flags. I started scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh.

i hope you put ~x86 into ACCEPT_KEYWORDS otherwise you wont have nptl enabled in your glibc (you need latest unstable glibc/gcc in order to get nptl)
you *should* also be running the 2.6.x kernel, but that's not *exactly* required

I think that it is required to be running a 2.6.x kernel (or a late 2.5.x kernel).
This line in the use_nptl() function of the ebuild for glibc states:
if [ -n "`use nptl`" -a "`get_KV`" -ge "`KV_to_int ${MIN_NPTL_KV}`" ]
Which means to me that you need to be running the latest kernel, unless get_KV does something that I am not aware of.
