Both 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 are more or less usable out of the box (although I'd not 
recommend 2.6.10 because various UML fixes were merged just *after* the  
release).

2.6.9 is unusable on a >=2.6.9 host, however (yes, it's ironic), but 2.6.9-bs 
is usable in most cases (especially for SKAS mode - you Rob have hit some bug 
in TT mode, however for people using SKAS mode it's ok. And sadly, most 
people use SKAS mode, so it's often more stable).

About the problem itself, I've already explained everything on bugzilla... and 
especially, nothing is fixed for TT mode on a NPTL-only Gentoo host, nor I 
know how to fix that (except by releasing a stable glibc which is built the 
correct way, i.e. with NPTL in /lib/tls and normal version in /lib - the 
current ebuild for this is correctly marked unstable).
