Smaller? Smaller is easy. And you didn't actually reduce __SIZEOF_PTHREAD_MUTEX_T, did you? This seems like it would not be at all hard to accommodate just with symbol versioning and not break any compatibility. Off hand, it seems like it would be some simple code in one new file in your sysdeps/ tree and a smattering of sysdeps Versions files. But if your community is happy with a soname change and not worrying about its various impacts, by all means just do that. It's a lovely thing to be able to stop compiling in all the compat stuff. To do that, all you need is sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/nptl/shlib-versions: hppa.*-.*-linux.* libc=6.1 GLIBC_2.6 hppa.*-.*-linux.* libpthread=0.1 GLIBC_2.6 If there is any linuxthreads configuration still possible, that would leave it producing libc.so.6/libpthread.so.0. If that really can never be any more, probably better to put the libc line in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/shlib-versions.
