Bug#399035: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug causes switch to ancient libpthread

Nope.  There are three separate builds of glibc: one with LinuxThreads
and no debug, one with LinuxThreads and debug, and one with NPTL.  We
have not updated the copy in /usr/lib/debug to use NPTL, but perhaps it
is time to do that (after etch at this point, I think).

Wouldn't it make more sense to add a debugging NTPL build *now*? This
is very unintuitive:

naesten@hydrogen:~/hacking/zsnes/dos/src% getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.3.6
naesten@hydrogen:~/hacking/zsnes/dos/src%
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug/ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
linuxthreads-0.10

and, you know, probably doesn't help people to get their programs
working with NPTL ;-).

Unfortunately my problem does not disappear with LinuxThreads...
