Thanks!

The nptl enabled hppa libc packages are in experimental.
e.g.
apt-get -t experimental install libc6
I'm using this page to track what's not building/overdue:
https://buildd.debian.org/~luk/status/architecture.php?suite=&a=hppa
http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hppa.html
This page tracks what the parisc porters are looking at:

Strace being broken was my highest priority, and that's now fixed, so
we can get some reasonable process traces when things go wrong.
The top of my queue is to work on hppa build stability issues with
Dann Frazier <dannf@dannf.org>.
Second to that is keeping the package queue building.
Cheers,
Carlos.
