Speaking of that...  what is the status of support for ppc32?  I have seen 
lots and lots of patches go past but I am unsure of when or where the tool 
changes are available.

I would defintely like to build and test the nptl support for ppc32 for 
linux, so where should I find:

- the right binutils or a patch
- the right gcc version or a patch
- any required glibc patches
- is there a minimum kernel verison required - I heard a rumor
  that someone (RedHat?) had backported needed changes to the 2.4.20 series
  (are these patches available)?

Or are some of the required pieces still missing for ppc linux?

Thanks,

Kevin
