Subject: just wanting to clarify the current status of glibc add-ons

  from reading the source for crosstool, a couple web pages and
perusing the glibc repo, it seems that this is the current state of
glibc add-ons:

* for relatively new versions of glibc, both "crypt" and "localedata"
are now built-in and are no longer add-ons.

* the remaining possible add-ons (as of glibc-2.3.5):

	linuxthreads OR nptl
	libidn
	ports

of the above, all but nptl require downloading as separate tarballs,
and nptl is now preferred over linuxthreads.  so, state of the art
suggests the following combo for completeness:

  --enable-add-ons=nptl,libidn,ports

depending on what you need.  does that sound about right?
