Most things linked against linuxthreads just work when you install
glibc+NPTL, because the LT libpthreads.so.* are just replaced by
NPTL libraries that get resolved similarly by the runtime linker.

As far as gcc is concerned, it's the same lib. LT is no longer really
there.

See the SLOT dealy in the ebuild. I'm using 3.3.1 slotted as "3.3" which
prevents it from overwriting other similarly slotted gccs.

Floppy drives, while harmless, can make scary sounds...
