Correct: Starting from 4.1, MySQL can be configured and built using "NPTL". In 4.0, "configure" checks for "Linuxthreads". When support for NPTL was added, 4.0 was considered "too stable" to receive this change, so it was made for 4.1 (and up) only. So that change was done to 4.1.12 and 5.0.6, see bug#2173. I assume this decision is now even more valid than it was back then. There are two workarounds which should enable 4.0 to build on a NPTL-only system: 1) Insert a misleading comment into the header file defining thread functions: echo '/* Linuxthreads */' >> /usr/include/pthread.h (The check just goes by searching that string.) 2) Explicitly give a threads library: ./configure --with-pthread --with-named-thread-lib=-lpthread ... (This takes precedence over the checks.) Does that fulfill your needs ?

No need to change anything of this (low) severity in 4.0
