I am looking into porting NPTL to MIPS. Just curious if anybody has tried this before. I notice there was a discussion about the ABI extension for TLS (thread local storage) support. Before that support becomes a reality it seems one can still use NPTL with the help of additional system calls. A rough search of latest glibc source shows there is zero MIPS code for nptl. A couple of other arches are missing as well (such as ARM) Jun
