[PATCH] check kernel headers for thread library

[Ian Wienand <ianw at gelato dot unsw dot edu dot au>]

Hello,

NPTL requires recent kernel versions to work properly.  Without
checking the headers stupid people like me might occasionally forget
the --with-headers flag and get silly errors like _exit not using
exit_group & then wondering why their threads don't exit.

suggested patch attached.

btw. why through this file does AC_EGREP_CPP use 'eat flaming death'
rather than something like 'yes'?

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.in : add ability for
	threading library to check kernel version.
	Make NPTL require at least 2.5.52
