In reply to Comment #8 :
> That said, this change (which is in perl 5.8.7) unfortunately breaks ABI,

NO - the perl releases in FC-5, FC-4, and RHEL-4 have been compiled without 
the -DTHREADS_HAVE_PID from the start.
It makes no sense at all to provide the Perl_Ippid_ptr / Perl_ppid symbols if
their values are invalid because of nptl usage - their presence is dependant on
this -DTHREADS_HAVE_PID compile flag.  
Modules compiled with different C compiler, glibc, glibc-headers, perl version,
and OS version cannot be expected to work when all these components have 
changed and would need recompilation anyway.
