1 I'm not sure if this is correct, but FreeBSD's glibc is not the same
2 as GNU-glibc. Like the entire userland, it was developped by the
3 FreeBSD dev-team. This means that there is no NTPL in this version of
4 glibc because it's not the same sources as the GNU-glibc on Linux.
5 This is due to the fact that glibc depends mostly on kernel calls
6 wich are not the same on the FreeBSD kernel vs Linux.

8 Like I said, I could be totaly wrong.
