NPTL has been around for long enough that applications are beggining
to rely on the newer more correct signal delivery semantics. In these
cases switching to NPTL will help. Ruby has several assumptions about
correct signal delivery which should be fixed by NPTL. However, this
does not fix all the problems with ruby.
I do not intend to fix ruby right now, but instead focus on more stable kernels.

Is this a toolchain issue?
