Well, you can detect the lib in use at compile time but that isn't
necessarily what will be used at run time, things like changing the
kernel or even simply setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL differently will break
it. So I'm not convinced it's really more reliable. The real problem
IMO is that we don't have NPTL rpm packages.
