nod... Unforunately... like Glibc 2.2 is the way to go. Perhaps later
2.2.x iterations will cut down on some of the bloat (dubious). 

On another note... I understand that glibc2 comes with threading support.
Specifically a hacked version of LinuxThreads. Which isn't completely
POSIX compliant due to signal handling.

2.1.x had support for real kernel level threads... is there a package for
this yet?

Just wondering.
