severity 224207 wishlist severity 224248 wishlist tag 224207 +wontfix tag 224248 +wontfix thanks The glibc DDs have discussed this a few times - We've chosen not to support 2.4 systems patched to support NPTL. Some of the reasons for this include: 1) Not supported by either upstream (which means that we may wind up taking on more aspects of kernel support than we're interested in) 2) Not supported by the Debian kernel maintainer. 3) 2.6.0 is out now. Also, the glibc that supports NPTL has been built with the minimum kernel version set as 2.6, which gives us a chance to remove some old compatibility code.
