It's in kernel 2.6. No version of released glibc supports it as of now. You might have to wait till december for that to happen. Anyway threading in current 2.4 kernel isn't all that bad. Just make sure that you are using sensible amount of threads. More than 20 threads in a single process calls for redesign of the app. on any platform..
