RE: failure building 7.5.0.23 on NTPL x86 system

I believe the latest glibc installed with Gentoo is more in line with
traditional distros, in that it installs a NPTL & non-NPTL version of glibc.
Perhaps this version of glibc is still marked as experimental, though I have
been using it for some time now. But it's compiled without the traditional
non-NPTL libraries.

I haven't tried to install the newest version of MaxDB on my machine (yet)
but compile failed miserably last time I tried (about 6 months ago) with an
NPTL enabled version on glibc. I'm still confused about this, so please
could someone clarify this - will MaxDB now compile with an NPTL-only glibc?

BTW - Hermann, thanks again for the MaxDB ebuilds.

Thanks.
Samir.

Strange. Well, as far as i know, the codes are as follows:
x86: 32-Bit x86 based arch
IA32: Intanium 32-Bit
IA64: Intanium 64-Bit
x86_64: 64-Bit x86 extended arch

Well, and as there are x86_64 builds out there, libunwind.mac should 
work at least on x86_64 and i guess they are built with NPTL support - 
although SAPDB may be still linked against a non-NPTL. Normal Distros 
(not Gentoo, which is broken in this aspect) install two glibc versions: 
one with NPTL, and one without.
