--- Comment #9 from S silas-wine@flatline.org.uk 2011-02-20 10:28:08 CST --- Well, I get errors related to pthreads when trying to run WINE on a 2.4 kernel on Debian 3.1 "Sarge". Unfortunately I don't have the system to hand at the moment, so I cannot supply the exact error message, but it's definitely about missing ptheads. The exact same WINE build runs fine under the same distribution running a 2.6 kernel; however the hardware I'm trying to make it run on cannot cope with the 2.6 kernel and works only with the 2.4 kernel.
2.4 kernel supports pthreads via LinuxThreads, however see the comment I just added to #24620: "I get the same error message [as the one logged in #24620] when compiling WINE 1.2 or 1.2.2 in a chroot environment set up with an old Debian 3.1 "Sarge" distro, with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 set so as to get its glibc 2.3.3 to use LinuxThreads instead of NPTL for pthreads (see "man pthreads")."
