[ELDK] glibc change for eldk 3.1.1

[Levend Sayar]

Mr. Denk,

I am really sorry. I just look at the header of your reply and see the "ask your question to the list" part.
I thought that below is my previous message. I did not looked at there carefully. It is all my mistake. I am really sorry.

What I know is just you said. Yes NPTL needs 2.6 series kernel. So I have a chance to use 4.2 ELDK.
But currently this is not applicable, since we are too near to release. Changing 2.4 kernel to 2.6 kernel would be huge impact right 
now.
So I did not see this as a applicable solution right now. And especially your paper about comparison of 2.4 and 2.6 kernels on ppc 
platforms
made us to choose 2.4.

But I have a RedHat 9.0 box. Its kernel is 2.4.20 and when you

getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION =>  glibc 2.3.2
getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION =>  NPTL 0.29

This configuration NPTL on 2.4 series gave me a hope. I dowloaded 2.3.2 glibc. But I saw that no NPTL code is in its code base.
So I tried 2.3.3 glibc and I saw that NPTL 0.60 is in the code base. So I started to build it.

I am using ELDK 3.1.1 toolchain. Configuration says ""thread-local storage not supported for this target".

I read Ulrich Drepper's paper about TLS and checked ABI for powerpc. Nothing about tls on powerpc.

But I think ELDK 4.2 has NPTL support on ppc. So how can it be possible ? Is this a hardware problem or software problem ?
Is TLS software emulated on powerpc ?
