I'm not sure, if it is my misunderstanding, but i think NPTL is
completely integrated in glibc. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_POSIX_Thread_Library

and

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-threading.html?ca=dgr-lnxw07LinuxThreadsAndNPTL

getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION shows on

Debian Sarge: NPTL 0.60  <-- looks very old
Ubuntu Edgy: NPTL 2.4
Ubuntu Feisty: NPTL 2.5
RHEL 5: NPTL 2.5


The debian changelog:


    2006


      glibc <http://packages.debian.org/src:glibc> (2.4-1) UNRELEASED;
      urgency=low

   * New upstream version 2.4:

    - NPTL being the default thread library when available, only one
       version of the thread library is available (either linuxthreads or
       NPTL).  Closes: #399035 <http://bugs.debian.org/399035>.
