If something was done outside of sorcery then I can not be held
responsible to determine what was done.

Then it needs something else to test against to see if glibc was
compiled with NPTL.  The test that was there before was not working so
this was the only thing I could think of to get it working.

And it is not that mysql is not detecting NPTL but that it is looking
specifically for LINUX_THREADS and if it doesn't see it it fails on
configure.  The detection of NPTL allows the applying of a workaround to
get it past configure.  See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=2173

If there was a sorcery mechanism to test for the config_query I would
use that.
