[Buildroot] NPTL support for uClibc-0.9.28

[Buildroot] NPTL support for uClibc-0.9.28

[sathesh babu]

Hi, 
   I am using buildroot to build cross toolchain for MIPS processor ( binutils 2.15,  gcc 3.4.3, uClibc-0.9.28 and Linux 2.6.18 kernel) .
   
  Can i get Native POSIX Threading (NPTL) support if i use above versions of binutils-2.15,gcc-3.4.3,uClibc-0.9.28 and Linux 2.6.18 kernel by enabling the  "Enable Native POSIX Threading (NPTL) support?"
  in the buildroot Toolchain Options.
   
   Also does uClibc-0.9.28   support Native POSIX Threading (NPTL)?
   
  If not what are the suggested versions of binutils,uClibc and gcc to be used to  get NPTL support for MIPS cross toolchain. 
   
  Regards,
  Sathesh

Nope. You will need gcc-4.2 or better and uClibc-0.9.29 from the
uClibc-NPTL branch in Subversion and binutils-2.17 or better.

No, and it never will.

binutils-2.17.60.0.16
gcc-4.2.0
uClibc-NPTL

Honestly everyone, I am clearing my schedule to do the NPTL merge and
get SuperH, ARM and MIPS all with NPTL support into trunk.
