yes, but I'd still like to make rootstrap as version agnostic as
possible (but without clogging it with too many hacks, so 2.4 support is
kind of excluded).

Alex Bodnaru worked on the solution we will implement: an init.d script
that checks the uml kernel version and diverts/undiverts /lib/tls.

The script is attached as it didn't make to the list, one post is here:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-uml-devel/2006-July/000285.html

I didn't test nor reviewd carefully the patch yet, as I'm pretty busy at
work these days. I'll include the fix in next rootstrap the next week
hopefully.

Thanks
