No, I have nothing specific, except maybe this.

I tried rebuilding xmms2 with an SMP kernel just to see if that would work
now with NPTL. Instead of failing with "wait: No child processes" fairly
late in the build [1] (which I could reproduce) it now reliably segfaults
early in the build at:

./waf configure --nocache --prefix=/usr --with-mandir=/usr/share/man --with-perl-archdir=/usr/lib/perl5
   --with-perl-binary=/usr/bin/perl --with-ruby-archdir=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/hppa-linux
   --with-ruby-libdir=/usr/lib/ruby/1.8 --without-optionals=python --without-plugins=mac
make: *** [build-stamp] Segmentation fault

And I now also get a segfault with an UP kernel, but much later:

23:45:51 runner system command -> /usr/bin/gcc -g -O2 -g -O0 -fPIC -DPIC  -Idefault -I.. -Idefault/src/include
   -I../src/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -DUSE_TAGGING
   ../src/plugins/mp4/mp4ff/mp4util.c -c -o default/src/plugins/mp4/mp4ff/mp4util_1.o
make: *** [build-stamp] Segmentation fault

It used to build without problems with that same UP kernel.

This may be unrelated to NPTL though as there've been various other updates.

Cheers,
