I figured that out yes. NPTL isn't enabled for powerpc glibc, it should
be with 2.3.5. I'm trying to make a build, but my lack of knowledge of
the debian package build files don't make that simple :)

What I did for now was to add a powerpc.mk that contains (quickly copied
from i348 basically)

GLIBC_PASSES += nptl

libc_extra_config_options = $(extra_config_options) --with-tls --with-__thread

Is that correct ? It's building for now, but that takes ages on this machine so it
will be a while before I can test....

Ben.
