Not available.

Same question arises hundreds of time.
Currently supported and tested arch are sh4 and arm.
Recently some porting on sparc32 has started.
Mips has been the first port but recently nobody is taking care of
this, I've fixed a problem due to a broken merge, but I'm not aware
of its real status.
All this code is currently available on the nptl branch.
Nothing has been integrated into the trunk.
This should be done one day, I should do this, I have started
partially, but currently stuck on doing something else.

this is not NPTL implementation, it's linuxthreads.
