I suspect this means: link the required libc5 pthread in statically. > it would have been of minimal value.

I disagree with this statement. Debian 2.0 will have packages to run _and develop_ libc5 binaries. If Red Hat doesn't, that's their problem. Debian users should not suffer because of Red Hat developer's decisions to omit this capability.
