My colleague tells me he built up a system using buildroot and uclibc that
has kernel 2.6.23
but i see here in the mailing that uclibc makes use of linuxthreads (not
NPTL)??
Is this correct?
I thought that kernel 2.6.x was always together with NPTL. So I was wrong?

Please another question: I heard that NPTL is much more efficient in thread
creation and scheduling. Is that correct?
