My answer... not until whatever linuxthreads-enabled glibc is no longer maintainable. We already lock the version to a specific maximum glibc in the no-nptl profiles. I say once that glibc version is no longer maintainable, then we move to i486 and drop the no-nptl stuff. Are there still issues with a 2.6 headers set and a 2.4 kernel? If so, we'll need to drop 2.4 kernel support at the same time on the affected arches. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
