glibc source rpm and nptl

I was attempting to rebuild glibc from the source rpm and noticed the 
spec file does not
utilize nptl  and does not specify it as an addon, but instead uses the 
linuxthreads addon.
The Fedora Core 1 announcements indicate that NPTL is used (and the 
kernel sources
do utilize NPTL). Is the the glibc spec file accurate?  I used both the 
original glibc src
rpm and the updated rpm [using the updated binary rpm] and both build 
without NPTL support.

Is the spec file correct?

Thanks,
