Basically, nptl sets up native posix thread library. Now, some programs don't |
| 9 |
like nptl, and will break with it. If you don't set nptlonly, some non-nptl |
| 10 |
compatible libraries will be installed that you can switchover too. However |
| 11 |
that's become so old that I set nptlonly. With this, glibc is only built |
| 12 |
once (instead of twice, one for nptl and one for non-nptl) and your system is |
| 13 |
full nptl compatible. |
