I believe the latest glibc installed with Gentoo is more in line with traditional distros, in that it installs a NPTL & non-NPTL version of glibc. Perhaps this version of glibc is still marked as experimental, though I have been using it for some time now. But it's compiled without the traditional non-NPTL libraries.
Yes, newer glibc ebuilds install two version of the glibc, as every major distro does, but they aren't marked stable yet :-(
I haven't tried to install the newest version of MaxDB on my machine (yet) but compile failed miserably last time I tried (about 6 months ago) with an NPTL enabled version on glibc. I'm still confused about this, so please could someone clarify this - will MaxDB now compile with an NPTL-only glibc?
I remember, that one SAP developer (i think it was Daniel Dittmar) once said, that he tried and SAPDB/MaxDB did cleanly compile on NPTL systems. But apparently it does not :-(
