I think you fail to understand the extend of the work *you* have to do
first before even thinking about an NPTL port to Arm.

A fundamental requirement for NPTL is an TLS ABI (see
http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tls.pdf).  This in turn requires that
the Arm ABI finally gets a thread register.  Once you have these
prerequisites you have to update all the tools (gcc + binutils) to
support the new ABI.  After you have done all that you can finally start
porting NPTL.

The phil-list is no place to discuss the ABI and tools related problems.
 So please don't post to phil-list any problem reports until you have a
fully functional toolchain.
