I beg to disagree : it is a clear bug to compile with linuxthread 
includes when running NPTL threads. Not a whislist.

Doing this you are behaving like a child saying everything I do is 
perfect. Come on, grow up... And by the way, the debian patched glibc 
does not seem to work with ntpl static...

A whishlist would be please upgrade to glibc 2.3.3 because your libc is 
so old...
