Seems mostly OK here on x86 SMP box. Compiled with GCC-4.1.0 (release) and
FSF binutils-2.16.1. But there is one testsuite failure:

make[2]: *** [/temptools/src/glibc-build/rt/tst-cputimer1.out] Error 1

The file contains this:

clock_gettime returned timespec = { 0, 262488 }
clock_getres returned timespec = { 0, 1 }
*** timer thr1 invoked too soon: 2.203289437 instead of expected 2.403155434
*** timer thr2 invoked too soon: 2.606787963 instead of expected 2.903155434

I'm guessing the cause could be my running kernel (2.6.15) or the kernel
headers I used (llh-2.6.12.0).
