Oh, sorry, should have thought of this before. If it were possible to reliably detect NPTL breakage in the configure script, would you accept a patch to add this temporarily? Some of the people hitting this problem have very little technical knowledge, editing wineinstall , make distclean etc is a bit beyond them, especially if they don't know where to get help in the first place.
If so, I don't suppose you know of any handy ways to detect it that we can put in a configure check?

You said a few months ago Wine would soon detect whether to enable NPTL support at runtime rather than compile time. Presumably this will get in as part of the CodeWeavers merge. Do you know how long that might be? It seems every day people hit this problem and don't realise how to work around it.
I'm working on it; the way we do it in Crossover is not really applicable to Wine (plus it's frankly ugly), but I'm working on the proper solution. It's still going to take some time.
