I "think" I read somewhere that the -npt1 is for "native posix threads
version 1". Apparently there is a lot of stuff that is just incompatible
with the posix threads in the 2.6+ kernel. All of it will have to be
compiled under a 2.6 kernel after being corrected to support the pid
scheme under the new posix threading.
