SLES 10 glibc is only symbol version wise on 2.4 level.
I don't know if the whole real-time priority inheritance mutex support
is without interface/binary changes, but I know we backported
some of the code for SLERT. 
But we will not backport code which needs a new symbol version (like
2.5).

So it would be interesting to see what is really missing from 
SLES10 glibc in regards to glibc 2.5.
