Anybody used Linux libc support for pthreads?

The release notes for recent versions of Linux libc indicate that
support for MIT pthreads is built-in. Presumably, means that I can
build a version of libpthread which contains only the pthread_* API
functions and leaves out the stdio parts, and Linux libc will provide
the thread-safe stdio functions and macros automatically.
Has anybody done this? Does it work as advertised? The release notes
say ``only the shared libpthread is supported.'' Is there a way to
configure pthreads to build such a thing, or do I need to hack the
Makefile by hand to build it as a shared ELF library?
Thanks,
Bill Gribble
