no problem until you rebuild glibc with the linux-2.6 headers and nptl.

from then on you are committed to 2.6.

After I had done this, I started having system freezes which seemed to be 
related to waiting for http connections, so I rebuilt a lot of stuff using 
the linux-2.6 headers.  Finally, I think it was w3c-libwww that solved the 
problem
