It is a part of the STLinux2.2 distribution (www.stlinux.com) (and forthcoming 2.3 distribution) and largely used by STMicroelectronics Linux customers. We are planning to provide a full Linux distribution based on uClibc-nptl in the near future too. Our patches have been already sent to Steve for a review/merge work on June. I'm the responsible for the NPTL port on ST and I'd be happy to provided some helps for the merge stuff if required, or discuss about some implementation choices we did.
