[Bug nptl/3956] New: nptl in glibc-2.5 fails to compile on ppc with kernel 2.4.17

["mike at tedder dot cc" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I am unable to compile nptl within glibc-2.5 due to the '__NR_tkill' symbol 
being undefined.  The compile error occurs in raise.c:

  gcc ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c -c -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -Winline -

  make[2]: *** [/mnt/home/bpoint/src/glibc-2.5-objdir/signal/raise.o] Error 1

For the record, my /usr/include/asm-ppc/unistd.h file only contains up to 
syscall 207:

  #define __NR_madvise            205
  #define __NR_mincore            206
  #define __NR_gettid             207

  #define __NR(n) #n

Searching the net reveals that newer kernel includes show __NR_tkill as being 
#defined as 208, however, my kernel is built into ROM and cannot be updated.  I 
already checked the HEAD revision of raise.c in CVS, but it hasn't been touched 
in 2 years.

In case if it's necessary, here's my uname -a:

bpoint@kuro-box.tedder.cc:~/src/glibc-2.5-objdir$ uname -a
Linux kuro-box.tedder.cc 2.4.17_kuro-box #4 2004年 4月 16日 金曜日 11:45:05 JST 
ppc unknown unknown GNU/Linux

And gcc version:
bpoint@kuro-box.tedder.cc:~/src/glibc-2.5-objdir$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/usr --with-cpu=603 --enable-
languages=c,c++ --disable-checking --disable-altivec
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.1

Any suggestions for a workaround, or should I just use Linuxthreads instead of 
NPTL?
