The latest patches are now up.
Core glibc patch:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~carlos/2009-06-20-glibc-hppa-nptl.diff
Ports glibc patch:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~carlos/2009-06-20-glibc-ports-hppa-nptl.diff
No regressions in the testsuite for hppa-linux-gnu.
No failures in my custom testsuite for the transition.
However, the usability testing in a chroot + vnc is showing that some
applications are segfaulting. I've been looking into this today.
Cheers,
Carlos.
