Oh, I wasn't aware it was out! Interesting changelog, though:

* The LinuxThreads add-on, providing pthreads on Linux 2.4 kernels, is no
  longer supported.  The new NPTL implementation requires Linux 2.6 kernels.
  For a libc and libpthread that works well on Linux 2.4 kernels, we
  recommend using the stable 2.3 branch.

* The new function ppoll is an improved version of poll, similar to pselect.

* New interfaces: fdopendir, openat, fstatat, fchmodat, fchownat,
  futimesat, faccessat, mkdirat, mkfifoat, mknodat,
  renameat, unlinkat, linkat, symlinkat, readlinkat.

Since it was released just 12 hours ago (at least that's what the
Changelog says), there's probably no recipe for it yet. But feel free
to try it and make a new version. I'll be happy to try it on my chroot
environment.

Cheers,
