Now that I have all my work up to date and checked in, I thought I would give a brief status of NPTL. With the latest from 'uClibc-nptl' branch, binutils-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0-20050604 a complete NPTL toolchain can be built. This toolchain can also compile an entire buildroot. Granted, the binaries will not run, but this means that the new NPTL libraries are properly exporting all the symbols necessary for applications to build and weak symbols interactions are doing what they should. I am currently now building static test programs from glibc for uClibc to get TLS binaries for MIPS working. Don't expect a lot of activity in the upcoming days as I will be debugging all the problems with TLS on MIPS. Thanks for your patience. -Steve
