I think even Red Hat's "i386" glibc was built w/o nptl and at least
i386 as a processor is not supported anymore. I think that RH9
supports only i586 upwards excluding K6. Unfortunatley I found no
mention of that in the release notes, one needs to browse the bugzilla
reports on bugzilla.redhat.com. :(
