Features can be added to GNU Libc via "add-on" bundles. These are
separate tar files, which you unpack into the top level of the source
tree. Then you give `configure' the `--enable-add-ons' option to
activate them, and they will be compiled into the library. As of the
2.2 release, one important component of glibc is distributed as
"official" add-ons: the linuxthreads add-on. Unless you are doing an
unusual installation, you should get this.
Support for POSIX threads is maintained by someone else, so it's in a
separate package. It is only available for GNU/Linux systems, but this
will change in the future. Get it from the same place you got the main
bundle; the file is `glibc-linuxthreads-VERSION.tar.gz'.
