That's the exactly the thing which I didn't want to do, I want to build glibc with linuxthreads and nptl


Look at your $PORTDIR/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-<version>.ebuild, locate want_tls function and add "return 1" as the first line of the function. This is ugly hack, but should work (not tested). Disadvantage is that it won't survive `emerge sync`, but you can add it into $PORTDIR_OVERLAY...


If you compile glibc with the nptl USE flag it will compile both NTPL and LinuxThreads into glibc. If you have specified the ntplonly USE flag then it will not compile LinuxThreads. Check to see if you have the nptlonly flag defined (most of the tutorials I remember looking at say to define it). If so, remove it and recompile glibc. You shouldn't need to recompile anything else, as the nptlonly USE flag only applys to glibc, so everything else should work fine from there.

If I'm not mistaken, NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library) is a replecement of LinuxThreads, threads implementation library used as default under pre-2.6 kernels. TLS (Thread Local Storage) is AFAIK something else (at least I think so because Ming wants to have NPTL enabled but TLS disabled).

I've created gentoo bugreport - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77678
