Thanks for that work. I am very interested in NPTL for ARM and will look
into this soon.

What is "everything" in this sense - you ran applications and all that
on the target?

I am digging through the scripting as we speak; I cannot seem to get
NPTL to work, working on a x86_64 host, targetting both i686 and x86_64
(trying also Greg Schafers patch which he brough in from his DIY work --
which looks excellent BTW - but is not cross yet).
