Hi Dan,
If it's any help I ported the NPTL patches in the crosstool contrib area to
crosstool-0.39, fixed a couple of problems, and built a working NPTL
toolchain for powerpc. I sent the patches to you a couple of months ago,
Best regards,
Steve

Sure. Got a patch?

Ditto...

Yes, we should make it easy to build an NPTL toolchain, but
that's a whole lot more involved than turning on a glibc addon.
I haven't needed this for my job up til now, so I haven't spent any
time merging the NPTL support patches folks have sent,
but my crystal ball seems to indicate it'll happen sometime this year.
