I had to use with-nptl to build winex pn Mandrake 9.1, the binarys did't work without that option. This wasn't necessarry on wine, but winex won't run without it.
WineX is a different in this regard. We don't differentiate between NPTL and LinuxThreads - and the option is --enable-pthreads and not --with-nptl.

You are correct from my understanding. Wine does a binary patch for errno stuff which is supposedly sufficient to not require using pthreads until NPTL comes into the fold.
So, you shouldn't compile --with-nptl on Mandrake.
