Kernel 2.6 and Thread issue with MySQL-4.1

[Christian Hammers]

Hello

I experienced problems with the latest 4.1.x source distributions.
Binaries compiled on Debian/unstable with kernel 2.6 do not work on
the same system with kernel 2.4. It works the other way around.
The error is:
 [ERROR] bdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented

To me it seems like a misdetected thread library issue as the 
only difference in the build logs is:
--- 4.1-kernel26/log    2004-11-03 22:09:03.000000000 +0100
+++ 4.1-kernel24/log 	2004-11-04 21:29:47.000000000 +0100
 -checking for mutexes... POSIX/pthreads/library
 +checking for mutexes... x86/gcc-assembly
...
And later on the use of mut_pthread.o vs mut_tas.o and whether or not to
use "-lpthread".

The issue was reported as bug #6445 and Debian bug report #278638 but
other packagers might have special interest in this issue (and maybe even
have a suggestion for a fix to me?)

bye,
