What system are you using that supports Linuxthreads with current EGLIBC 
(so supports TLS) but not NPTL?  Linuxthreads only remains on the EGLIBC 
trunk for the occasional users of such systems; it's a very specialised 
use case.  (I presume you have checked your patch against what 
Linuxthreads does; it's not the function of Linuxthreads manpages to 
document NPTL.)
