oh, i realize that there may be some subtleties going on underneath i
haven't noticed yet.  but *theoretically*, do my two previous points
make sense?

1) an absolutely standard installation of glibc headers should install
wordsize.h.  (i can't think of any persuasive reason why that file
would not be installed.)

2) if you *explicitly* select "--enable-add-ons=nptl" at configuration
time, then the NPTL-related header files should be installed as well.

  are there any good reasons why either of the above *shouldn't* be
true?
