There is at least a theoretical benifit if you set NPTL_KERN_VER=2.6.38
in make.conf and recompile glibc. That way glibc could use things not
present in older kernels.
I haven't researched if there are any such things, perhaps someone else
knows.
Also, beware. If you recompile glibc withe NPTL_KERN_VER set, you can't
boot with older kernels anymore.
