Description:
In the Docs directory of the MySQL sourcecode there is a linuxthreads.txt and a glibc-2.2.5.patch.

Some more info is in this e-mail from Lenz Grimmer:
http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/123063

The first line of linuxthreads.txt already notes that it's obsolete, but it's still in the sourcecode repository on LP.

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-next-mr/files/head:/Docs/
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-trunk/files/head:/Docs/

How to repeat:
Read docs in Docs directory

Suggested fix:
Remove from mysql-trunk

I think it does not make sense to support and even mention LinuxThreads and
glibc-2.2.5 in the code of mysql-trunk.

Noted in 5.6.11, 5.7.1 changelogs.

The obsolete linuxthreads.txt and glibc-2.2.5.patch files in the Docs
directory of MySQL distributions have been removed.
