The only thing I've had problems with is nptl support in db4. I posted the

RHEL4's mysql by default needs nptl too, so removing /lib/tls means I have to add skip-bdb to my.cnf to make mysql work. Reinstalling db4 (the one without nptl) doesn't solve the problem.

After some experiments, I ended up modifying glibc (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenSpecificGlibc). It was a little tricky, as it was FC3's glibc (anyone have SRPM for RHEL4?).

Modified .spec, installed the new glibc, and voila, everything works great.
I think this is better than rebuilding everything that needs NPTL (so far I only found db4 and mysql though).

Fajar
