- * FIXME: The setjmp/longjmp approach works in Red Hat 4.2 but
- * not in Red Hat 5.1 for Linux/Sparc.  We should talk to the
- * maintainer of Linux/Sparc glibc2 about this.  Or we can write
- * assembly code to save and restore thread contexts.  Before
- * this problem is solved, you can build the pthreads version.
- * Set the environment variable USE_PTHREADS to 1 before you
- * build.
+ * You need glibc2-2.0.7-25 or later. The libraries that came with
+ * Red Hat 5.1 are not new enough, but they are in 5.2.
