Absolutely. That doesn't detract from needing a stable environment
to build and test with, which gentoo provides.

What glibc version?
We use the generic pthread_cond_timedwait implementation.
The only thought I have is that pthread_cond_timedwait in master
might try to use PI-aware mutexes and we haven't had much testing
of the PI support in hppa. So there might be some issues to review
there. I'll run the mysql-5.5 testsuite to try validate some of the
cleanup I have planned.
Cheers,
Carlos.
