NPTL used to work with "x86" glibc/gcc, so a few people like me
have given it a chance. From my experience, the only problem I
had was smbmout freezing from time to time (which seems to be
a known bug with NPTL 0.28, refering to some Red Hat bugreport
I found aksing google).

I can not remember that I had to emerge some "~x86" packages due
to get NPTL to run. 

Having to drop NPTL for continuing "x86" seems to have caused
a lot of trouble for some people, and moving to "~x86" to be able to
use NPTL is not really painless, neither.

I'm a bit at a loss what's the better solution for me at the moment.

Regards,
Jens
