Been using this for a while, it is much improved over the old situation 
as it compiles an nptl and a linuxthreads library (for compatibility 
with some broken apps). I have been using it for quite some time with no 
problems.

There is no need to emerge -e world though, as all dynamically linked 
programs will be able to take advantage of nptl once glibc has been 
recompiled. It should be nptl in USE flags too, don't add nptlonly to 
your USE flags unless you know what you are doing though.
