this statement is correct ... not that i see the point of it

this can be done only if you backport the features from 2.6 that were
added in order to make NPTL possible ... redhat has done this, but
really it's just a waste of time ... 2.4 is dead :P

i really have no idea what you mean by this ... "pthreads" is short
for "POSIX threads" and there's no such thing as "pthreads" with
respect to a specific code base. NPTL is one implementation of the
POSIX threads specification while LinuxThreads is another.
