Hi list, a question before I upgrade: glibc-2.4 is nptl-only, so is it possible to use it with xen as-is or does it need patching? Couldn''t find any info on this in the wiki or ML archives.

Couldn''t find any info on this in the wiki or ML archives.FYI: I found the answer. glibc-2.4 is OK without the patch if you compile it with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs. "configure" then adds the correct defines that are used in sysdep.S to use the correct segment access semantics. I put a note about this on http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenSpecificGlibc.
