Our OpenLDAP needs NPTL enabled.

To enable NPTL on Gentoo I think you should, edit /etc/make.conf, adding nptl to your USE variable.

For RHEL and Fedora Core.
Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) settings

Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL), a new implementation of POSIX threads for Linux, provides performance improvements and increased scalability.

To check NPTL to verify that it is on, you can use the following command:

 getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
