It should work for x86 (32bits), but is broken for PPC and it seems like they
don't really know what breaks the nplt+linuxthreads build.

The bad news for all who needs linuxthreads (mostly people using old
precompiled stuff, I guess) is that the linuxthreads will be dropped in glibc
2.3.6 and you will have nptl only.

IMHO it's better to use the bugzilla for software "bugs".
