Hello, tls support for powerpc should be in 3.4 (when it's released). It was added in back in May <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-05/msg00774.html> (if you can check out current gcc cvs, that should have it). I doubt you can build nptl on ppc without a cvs compiler (not positive though). Dara __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
