NPTL Glibc on Ubuntu this week

Hey'all!

We're just getting ready to roll out the new glibc on Ubuntu. Last I checked, Carlos said that there was libthread ABI breakage. We didn't bump the SOVERSION, though. Even if we did bump it, Debian/Ubuntu don't track the thread package version separately right now, so we'd never see it in package upgrades - things will just silently break. So far the plan is to ignore it, since updating from dapper to feisty is a by-hand operation and the basic tools aren't threaded. So upgrades will work, they'll just suck.

So this is a final check before we roll - any other dragons hiding in the waters that we might worry about?
