IMHO, LFS should just drop the Linuxthreads man pages altogether: - they are horribly out of date and do not match the current NPTL implementation - upstream Glibc do not maintain them http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1481 - Redhat/Fedora (defacto upstream Glibc distro) no longer install them - It's just silly downloading a Linuxthreads tarball when we use NPTL The POSIX pthread programming man pages are supplied by the man-pages package in the `man3p' dir. NPTL almost exactly matches POSIX meaning these pages are the best reference for programmers (at least according to RH).
