NPTL and TLS-based libc in FC4t3

[Gary Byers]

I installed FC4t3 on a G5 a week or so ago.

I've since removed it (and can't easily check), but my impression was
that the system did not use a TLS-based libc and (I therefore assume)
included an older LinuxThreads library instead of NPTL.  (The unofficial
FC3 releases for PPC -did- install and use a TLS-based C library and
NPTL.)

If my impression and assumption are correct, does anyone know if this
omission was intentional and, if so, what the rationale is ?
