Hi,
From a short glance at README.linuxthreads.gz, it seems to me that this
file deals mostly or only with the classical 'linuxthreads'
implementation. Shouldn't this file contain a remark that it is
obsolete on newer systems (where NPTL is used)? (Or should Debian stop
shipping it with libc6 by default?)
(Feel free to close this bug with no further discussion if it's not
appropriate - I'm not a libc nor a pthreads guru, I was just browsing
/usr/share/doc.)
greetings

Adrian, if your question focuses the implementation, it's still used
as Thiemo already explained. If your question focuses the description
in this file is out-of-date and getting useless, that is correct.
However, I also think we have no reason to stop shipping such
document. I close this report.
