Problem with futex call on 8xx

Hi
I'm having a problem with ~100% CPU load on MPC8xx when calling
pthread_cond_wait.
Running strace, I get:
futex(0x10040d5c, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
.. and this call is inifinitely repeating, which explains the high load.
I'm running Linux 2.6.26-rc2 (not newer due to the slowdown problem
introduced by commit
8d30c14cab30d405a05f2aaceda1e9ad57800f36, as pointed out by Rex Feany
this week), and
glibc v2.6 (part of ELDK 4.2).
Is this a problem due to an error in the futex implementation in
glibc, or a kernel problem?
Best regards,
Frank
