I am porting GLIBC and I would like to build it without NPTL.

How should I invoke ./configure to build GLIBC without NPTL ?

For a Linux target, that is not easy.

What's the porting issue specific to NPTL?

Thanks,

Is it possible to have a quick outline of what needs to be done ?

It is more so because NPTL should not be made mandatory; there are alternatives.

It really depends on how your target differs from Linux.

You could look at the HTL vs NPTL difference to get some ideas.

Nowadays, the thread library is tightly integrated with the dynamic
loader and the rest of glibc, so it really has to be built from the same
source tree.
