nptlonly was used during the transition from linuxthreads to NPTL in glibc. |

The toolchain would build glibc twice, once with linuxthreads, and the |
| 17 |
other with NPTL. By setting this USE flag, you would cause glibc to only |
| 18 |
build the NPTL version, thus cutting the build-time in half. |

Whether it's needed or not anymore, I am not certain. It might be left over |
| 21 |
for people who need an upgrade path from such an old glibc to something newer. |
