Indeed: configuring glibc with --without-__thread, putting the result in /lib/tls, and linking its dynamic linker into /lib yields an NPTL installation that works on i586 without trouble. The only downside is a loss of binary compatibility for programs that use thread cancellation, but these seem to be very rare. -- `End users are just test loads for verifying that the system works, kind of like resistors in an electrical circuit.' - Kaz Kylheku in c.o.l.d.s ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
