good enough.

working with the latest "svn update" of the standard crosstool, i
notice that there a single .dat file that refers to
nptl: gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.5-nptl.dat.

but the contents are confusing:

BINUTILS_DIR=binutils-2.16.1
GCC_CORE_DIR=gcc-3.3.6
GCC_DIR=gcc-4.1.1
GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.3.5
LINUX_DIR=linux-2.6.15.4
LINUX_SANITIZED_HEADER_DIR=linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0
GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME=glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.5
GDB_DIR=gdb-6.5
GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG="$GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG --with-tls --with-__thread  --enable-kernel=2.4.18"
GLIBC_ADDON_OPTIONS="=nptl"

  i thought the whole point of NPTL was to not *need* linuxthreads.
so why is there a reference to linuxthreads in the above?
