I am going to be checking in the code to make the NPTL branch work. This will
be done over the next two weeks. After that, Carmelo and company will be work
with me to merge in their SuperH NPTL port for uClibc. The ARM stuff from
CodeSourcery will be merged last. I am already working on the PowerPC NPTL
port for uClibc. That code will be merged in towards December timeframe.
