My default glibc (and everything else compiled on my system is compiled for NPTL, but I've a second version with LinuxThreads installed with a different prefix (configure --prefix=/usr/i686-glibc-linuxthreads when installing glibc.) Be careful not to overwrite your normal glibc with a different threading version or everything will break (including your shell!) You also need a version of gcc copied into an alternate path (eg: cp -R /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu /usr/lib/gcc/i686-glibc-linuxthreads on my system) and the specs file in this directory altered to point to your NPTL version of ld-linux.so.2 I then compile and run VDR under a separate user which has its environment set to pass the following flags to gcc/g++: -specs=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-glibc-linuxthreads/3.4.3/specs -nostdinc -I/usr/i686-glibc-linuxthreads/include -I/usr/lib/gcc/i686-glibc-linuxthreads/3.4.3/include -I/usr/include And also: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/i686-glibc-linuxthreads/lib That way anything compiled, linked and ran under that account uses LinuxThreads, everything else on my system uses NPTL. Basically I followed http://commmunity.linux.com/howtos/Glibc2-HOWTO-4.shtml but made the change to the specs file and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of altering any of the original libraries - i.e. skip step 4.2 and do the last bit of 4.3 a different way.
