19 I think that it is required to be running a 2.6.x kernel (or a late
20 2.5.x kernel).
21
22 This line in the use_nptl() function of the ebuild for glibc states:
23
24 if [ -n "`use nptl`" -a "`get_KV`" -ge "`KV_to_int ${MIN_NPTL_KV}`" ]
25
26 Which means to me that you need to be running the latest kernel, unless
27 get_KV does something that I am not aware of.
