NPTL and /lib/tls directory [solved]

[kohno]

I have read somewhere, which says "If you don't use the "nptlonly" flag, you will have the linuxthreads version of glibc in /lib and the NPTL version in /lib/tls."
Here's my USE flags for glibc:

# emerge -pv glibc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r2 USE="nls nptl userlocales -build -erandom -glibc-compat20 -glibc-omitfp -hardened -linuxthreads-tls -nptlonly -pic -profile" 0 kB

But somehow I don't see the /lib/tls directory. What's going on?

Perhaps something to do with "-linuxthreads-tls" in your USE flags?

What's your emerge --info?

Perhaps something to do with "-linuxthreads-tls" in your USE flags?

I've tried recompiling glibc with the "-linuxthreads-tls" USE, but still no /lib/tls directory. Even worse, now nptl is gone, too.

Your CHOST is i386-pc-linux-gnu, glibc will not compile in nptl support with this CHOST.

Thank you, Bad Penguin. Now I have the directory.
I used the stage1-x86-2005.1-r1.tar.bz2, the CHOST variable is i386-pc-linux-gnu; according to the handbook, I'm not supposed to change it, so I didn't.

If you want nptl, you either need to either start from stage3, or change the CHOST and bootstrap/emerge -e system from your stage1 (check the Gentoo FAQ, there are "instructions")...
