this is not a democracy :) if we are going to go the route of "x86 is
95% of the users, so let's treat x86 special", then we might as well
drop support for all the other architectures.

Carlos will have a better overall view of what's needed for glibc. I've
looked at the nptl part of it a bit. There is work needed for binutils,
gcc and glibc. I will be discussing this more with Carlos and Dave (our
gcc/binutils upstream maintainer) during gcc-summit at the end of this
month.
There is a preliminary design for NPTL for hppa. The first step to get
this to work is for us to agree on a workable design for implementing
this. I hope to get that done by the end of the month.
