I have installed Debian Etch on my "NetBSD" notebook which uses glibc-2.3.6
and a 2.6 kernel.

I'm trying to bootstrap pkgsrc under Linux emulation on NetBSD in a chroot
sandbox of Debian Etch (e.g. /emul/linux does not matter)
but I'm getting a strange reproducable SIGSEGV
during the build of bmake which leads me to believe that it is somehow
related to NPTL.

I've seen that NPTL support is enabled only for amd64. Is there a specific
reason that is is not available for i386?

here is the relevant ktrace output from the bootstrap run, gcc-4.1 calls
exit_group() and make's wait4 gets a strange result:

BTW, running bootstrap in a Debian-Sarge chroot under Linux Emulation
runs without problems.
