Just for clarification, the patches that we propose don't regress 
anything (at least from what we tested, they shouldn't). What I was 
trying to say is that some functions are currently only provided by NPTL 
(clock_nanosleep, for example is only implemented in NPTL and lacking in 
lt.old), so it would be great to get support for NPTL for Xtensa into 
uClibc.

Thanks,
-Chris
