You're right (at least as far as I can understand by reading the glibc ebuild). In an existing system you don't need the new headers. However, if you're doing a fresh installation you need the headers in order to enable nptl in the bootstrap phase, since there isn't an existing kernel to use. That's the way I understand it anyway. -- Jani-Matti H�tinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
