Hi Steve, Khem, Mike, all ...
well just an update on the NPTL branch synch&merge work.

I've discussed privately with Khem that is working on re-basing ARM nptl 
port and agreed to commit all the merged stuff I had on my nptl working 
copy.
In the recent weeks I've merged/integrated and tested a lot of work from 
trunk making a almost synchronized nptl branch (at least of sh4 port).

At this point the current status of the NPTL branch is that it is 
working fine for sh4 and should still build and work for mips.

So I kindly ask Steve to test again on his mips hw (apologies idvance 
for any breakage I could have done).

Khem now is working to rebase his ARM patches on top of the freashen 
branch and than commit his stuff.

If no issues from mips side (hopefully) we can say to have again a 
stable nptl branch for al three supported archs.

There are other few files not completely merged with trunk that need 
more investigation (misc/internals and some other headers), but 
excluding these all the differences between nptl and trunk should be 
related to NPTL and TLS part.

I'll take care of merging future incoming changes on trunk back to nptl 
branch.

After that, hopefully in the next weeks (next two weeks I'll be not 
available), we will be ready to move all to trunk.

It was hard, but I'm sure we'll success at the end.

Thanks and best regards,
Carmelo
