#1: I noticed Debian has 2.5, maybe 2.5.1, patches for linuxthreads. #2: I thought about using GNU-Pth (portable threads), but since Glibc can't be built without threading this didn't seem to be helpfull.
#3: There's Redhat's 2.4.21 patch which add's nptl support, but this patch is integrated with other patches and all together it's like 20MB of differences. #4: Or, use Glibc-2.3.6 for the Linux-2.4 branch. Several distro's still use 2.3.6, so finding the bug fixes shouldn't be difficult. Debian's Glibc patches might be the best choice. robert On Friday August 31 2007 07:51:47 pm Bob Baker wrote: > So to that end I am running through the 2.4 glibc version of the book. > Happy to see its been merged into the mainline book.
