Building with linuxthreads is normal. The NPTL add-on currently breaks
the ABI for libpthread. This has to be fixed before we can really using it.
Note that I have the exact same build error with a 64-bit kernel, but
not with a 32-bit kernel. Also the glibc was building successfully on a
64-bit kernel until very recently. I guess the change from
linux-kernel-headers to linux-libc-dev (and with it a change from 2.6.18
to 2.6.21 headers) has triggered the kernel bug, just like it has
triggered the "df bug" (#427395).

You have to compare the list of failed tests to the linuxthreads one. If
new tests are failing, you have to investigate why and see if this is a
regression or not.
