Re: that whole glibc addon options thing should be cleaned up

["stevep at zee2 dot com" <stevep at zee2 dot com>]

Hi Dan,

If it's any help I ported the NPTL patches in the crosstool contrib area to
crosstool-0.39, fixed a couple of problems, and built a working NPTL
toolchain for powerpc.  I sent the patches to you a couple of months ago,

Best regards,

Steve

Sure.  Got a patch?

Ditto...

Yes, we should make it easy to build an NPTL toolchain, but
that's a whole lot more involved than turning on a glibc addon.
I haven't needed this for my job up til now, so I haven't spent any
time merging the NPTL support patches folks have sent,
but my crystal ball seems to indicate it'll happen sometime this year.
