How did you do this? Did you try to run 'mkbuildtree' on a Fedora
kernel rather than the mainline 2.4.22 kernel? That would definitely
not work! We only plan to support our own patchset applied to mainline
kernels -- however we would consider adding patches for extra
functionality, derived from other releases.

If you can get a port of, for example, NPTL going then we would
happily accept a patch.
I don't expect thae actual porting would take very long, but it would
be slower for us since we would have to set up an NPTL-based system to
properly test and debug the new code.
