Just a quick update to say further testing was not possible.  I wanted
to see what would happen using the NPTL branch of uClibc with NPTL
itself disabled.  Apparently the NPTL branch cannot be built at all
unless NPTL is enabled.  Multiple compiler errors occur because header
files, like tls.h and sysdep-cancel.h, cannot be found.
