I am not sure where nptl ends and tls starts, but I suspect tls is broken
in the current 2.6 UML, since the get_thread_area and set_thread_area
syscalls don't exist, which upsets the uml kernel if the tls libraries
are in the image. If I ever have plenty of time/disk space I believe there
are some nptl tests associated with glibc which I might try.
