Let me see if I can clean up my mess here. 

The fedora kernel has nptl patches. It is not a native kernel.org source
tree. The posix threads are from the later 2.5 devel kernels that are
standard in 2.6. 

So a system built around a 2.4.*-nptl kernel will work with a 2.6+
kernel. But getting a kernel.org 2.4+ kernel to work will cause problems
with out the nptl patch.

The place to get the patch is from the fedora kernel source rpm. By
installing the src.rpm, one can then grab the patch file(s) from the
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory.
