Well, I understand NPTL is a joint work of the glibc (Ulrich) and linux-
kernel (Ingo) people, with changes on both sides and, I gather, rather
excellent performance numbers. However, I doubt it's much good on 2.4 or
older kernels (I suspect it just falls back to the old LinuxThreads
behaviour), and the 2.5 kernel versions with the necessary support haven't
yet grown into a stable (2.6) version.
