I don't really understand why you repeat the very same question which
I already answered in a primvate message. But OK, here my reply goes
again:

NPTL also needs adequate kernel support, which is not available in
that old 2.4 kernel tree.

You can use NPTL - all you have to do is update to a recent kernel
version (2.6.33 or later recommended); then you can use ELDK release
4.2, which already includes support for NPTL.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

By the way, ALL software projects are done by iterative  prototyping.
Some companies call their prototypes "releases", that's all.
