Why are you using Linuxthreads?  Nightly imports of Linuxthreads from FSF 
CVS stopped a long time ago, and it won't be possible to build any EGLIBC 
version later than 2.5 without TLS support unless you apply a lot of local 
patches to work around the lack of such support; if you have TLS support 
for your target, using Linuxthreads instead of NPTL hardly makes sense.

I'd have thought the right thing to do is to remove Linuxthreads from 
/trunk and /fsf/trunk to make clear it is no longer a useful part of 
EGLIBC.
