I'm trying for 2 days now to compile glibc-2.3.6+nptl with gcc-3.4.5 and 
I still get the same error:

[...]
running configure fragment for sysdeps/i386/elf
checking for i386 TLS support... yes
running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux
running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/pthread
configure: error: compiler support for __thread is required

florin, can you please send me the output of `gcc -v` and 
`/lib/libc.so.6` ???

anyone else running nptl - please do as well.
