Bug#538513: hppa NPTL switch - bump minimal libc6 requirements to libc6 (= 2.10)

2009-09-09 Thread Petr Salinger
Hi, please do not forget to bump minimal libc6 requirements to libc6 (= 2.10) in libc6.symbols.hppa similarly as in libc6.symbols.sparc. The hppa NPTL switch is 100% *** backward *** compatible. The pthread static initializers compiled against NPTL will not work against linuxthreads (e)glibc

Hi. I spent the last two days rewriting the pthread structure layouts for hppa's nptl implementation. It looks very nice and promising now, thanks. I was able to restructure both pthread_mutex_t, and pthread_rwlock_t to be 100% ABI compatible with Linuxthreads. Strictly speaking,

for status of hppa nptl switch ? The work is going very well. The work for the switch is done, but during testing I came across usability problems with larger programs. I'm currently debugging this. I think I need about a week more for debugging at this point. Have you also been able to fix
