I need to port some of my stuff to NPTL and I'm trying to confirm what I
have been reading on the web. Although the following read like statements,
they are really questions.
(1) SL3x supports nptl: nptl was back-ported into the 2.4 kernels. glibc
is still LinuxThreads. You need to link with the nptl libraries from
nptl-devel.
(2) SL4x supports nptl natively: 2.6 kernels support nptl. No back-port
needed. glibc's pthreads is nptl as in the nptl-devel rpm. No need to link
with nptl-devel libraries.
Thanks!
