I've been running CVS HEAD code on Fedora PPC within the last week, and
apart from the endianness issues which I've fixed, and the kernel
bluetooth bug which I fixed, it's been OK with everything I've done with
it (which admittedly hasn't been much).

AFAIK there's nothing quirky about the threading model -- it's just the
standard Linux/glibc NPTL code. Although it's feasible that Red Hat was
the first to ship with that, I think that just about all of the other
distributions have caught up now -- it should be the same on most
current Linux boxes; not just Red Hat, Fedora and their clones.
