Hi,
New version of the patch, with good versions comments and whithout
compilation of getpid on recent linux.
Previuously, I've only checked if the installation baseline is ok, so I
checked if Glibc and kernel version's on LibreOffice download page are
good, sorry for this. This patch have the correct baseline (Glibc 2.4 and
of course Linux 2.6+).

This version of GLibc can also be used with LinuxThreads, internal getpid
is used instead of the glibc version with this patch. As mentioned Caolán,
RHEL 4.9 use NPTL, but with this version of Glibc, LinuxThreads can also be
used.

FIXME: when our Linux base-line is above:

Then we get a working getpid() and can remove this hack.
