I'm still working on the hppa side. It builds. And I just received a
much faster build box, so I can start running more serious debugging.
It's definately a non-trivial issue with our thread register in 2.3.2. I
have patches that fix the errors you see, but they produce a glibc that
fails most of the test-suite. Since debian doesn't check the test-suite
results for install (e.g. we aren't at a zero error in make check
poilcy), it would be suicide to install said glibc build :)

I am working on it in my spare time! Perhaps I should start enlisting
more of my hppa mates to help get the issues fixed.

Cheers,
Carlos.
