Perhaps coldfire devices will proliferate. Who knows?

The release after Etch requires glibc 2.4/2.5, which means porting the 
Native POSIX Threading Library.

As I understand it, the problem is that Thread Local Storage needs to be 
implemented in-kernel, and then __thread support could be done in GCC, and 
only then can a glibc boffin port NPTL and current glibc. I don't know if 
binutils is implicated too. Anyway, it is non-trivial (if not onerous).
