We want to advertise that we support NPTL (after we implement it). Each
program can choose to use NPTL or old threads depending on $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL.
If $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is set to 2.6.x or not set at all then we use NPTL.
If it is set to 2.4.x then we use the old clone based threads, like linux
currently does.
