Any ideas? You would have to clarify what you mean by "puking". Does pthreads not compile? Does it compile and not work? Does it compile and work but your program doesn't work? Note that anything using the name resolver in 2.2 will have trouble with fds above what FD_SETSIZE is set to when libc is compiled. This is fixed in 3.0, but the fix hasn't been brought into 2.2.
