or am I missing something here?
You are correct: you need a recent 2.5 kernel and a recent glibc.
I'll bite - how recent a glibc? Does the 2.3.1 RPM that RedHat included on the Phoebe beta qualify, or do we need even more bleeding-edge?

lists what sources are needed for the latest nptl. Phoebe beta had a slightly earlier snapshot of nptl and glibc.
As far as the kernel goes, it's rumored
( https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phil-list/2003-January/000419.html ) that you're better off using a recent 2.5 kernel than the 2.4 backport in phoebe.
I haven't tried NPTL myself, though, so what do I know...
