Excellent! How do I get NPTL built into the kernel.

realistically NPTL on 2.4 is a real big pain in the <>. So I would
suggest to either use a distribution kernel with NPTL patched in, or use

take a really really experienced kernel hacker at least 3 weeks... and
stability would be.. brittle. Just don't go there ;(
