For the benefit of anyone playing along at home, I found that the first
attachment ("patch.diff") is already merged in the second attachment
of the same message ("0001-Add-NPTL-support-for-m68k.patch").

I suppose I don't need to remove or update anything, since I build eglibc
against fresh new kernel headers, from linux-2.6.31 patched with your TLS
patches.

For the benefit of anyone else attempting this, the first patch in that
email ("Don't bind rtld's vdso pointers to libc symbols") is merged into
the second patch in the same email ("Nptl support for m68k/ColdFire").
I did run into a problem with this second patch. It doesn't apply to the
eglibc_2.10 branch in svn as of yesterday. The following hunk is the
problem:

It appears that another patch is needed, to allow your patch to apply:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-05/msg00028.html
And probably this patch too (I used both):
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2009-05/msg00003.html
Should I be using any other patches?

(Trap for the uwary: this patch is for eglibc/libc, the others are for
eglibc/ports.)

The two patches attached to that bug are already in the eglibc_2.10
branch, BTW.

Using the above patches, I am almost able to compile eglibc_2.10. But
there is an old build failure (since glibc-2.4 I think) when linking
libc.so:
/tmp/build/glibc-m68k-linux-gnu-3/libc_pic.os: In function `fchownat':
(.text+0x911c2): undefined reference to `__atfct_seterrno'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/glibc-2.10.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2
To try to fix this issue, I've basically copied this patch:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2006-08/msg00004.html
An m68k version is attached. Can someone have a look at it and tell
whether this is the correct fix or not?
The end result is that I now have a NPTL/TLS m68k toolchain
(binutils-2.19.51 and patched gcc-4.4.1). Thank you for making that
possible. I've not run the test suites yet, but so far it seems to work.
Only, I did find that a statically linked binary (pccardctl) built with
this toolchain segfaults ("unknown errorSegmentation fault") when run
under a linux-2.6.31 kernel that lacks your patches. Is this expected?
Etch-m68k seems to run fine with or without the kernel patches. I've CC'd
the debian-m68k list but I suppose they can't use any of this until both
the siginfo ABI is resolved and eglibc passes its tests on m68k
hardware.
