Re: New threaded application: develop against NPTL?

I failed to mention that the app will also be having to deal with signals, which seems to be a source of inconsistencies, if not outright bugs, in LinuxThreads. Certainly the signal handling model in the NPTL whitepaper makes more sense to me, anyway. 

Ah, well, if you want anything like Posix-compliant
signal handling, you'll probably want NPTL.

Well, the application is a fancy init/service-manager/etc. type of thing, that if it works is going to replace SysVinit and/or simpleinit on my systems. As such, I doubt if many RH9 users are going to be interested in it :-) 

2.6 and cvs glibc it is, then...
