You did the right thing, I think.  You shouldn't have any NPTL in
there.  If you had unpacked linuxthreads and just passed
--enable-addons, it would have attempted to use NPTL and linuxthreads
and any other addons in there.  If you're really curious, try to see
what RedHat does to enable both threading libraries:

It's pretty hairy for mere mortals, though.

That's unfortunate.

One nice thing about being on a RedHat distro is that people are much
more likely to jump for you.  Hopefully that gets fixed so you can
stop using linuxthreads.
