[BZ #1037]
Features can be added to GNU Libc via @dfn{add-on} bundles. These are
separate tar files, which you unpack into the top level of the source
tree. Then you give @code{configure} the @samp{--enable-add-ons} option
-to activate them, and they will be compiled into the library. As of the
-2.2 release, one important component of glibc is distributed as
-``official'' add-ons: the linuxthreads add-on. Unless you are doing an
-unusual installation, you should get this.
-
-Support for POSIX threads is maintained by someone else, so it's in a
-separate package. It is only available for GNU/Linux systems, but this will
-change in the future. Get it from the same place you got the main
-bundle; the file is @file{glibc-linuxthreads-@var{VERSION}.tar.gz}.
+to activate them, and they will be compiled into the library.
You will need recent versions of several GNU tools: definitely GCC and
GNU Make, and possibly others. @xref{Tools for Compilation}, below.
with no list, it enables all the add-on packages it finds. If you do
not wish to use some add-on packages that you have present in your source
tree, give this option a list of the add-ons that you @emph{do} want
