This cannot be answered easily.  If you build a binary on RHL9 it'll be
default link with LinuxThreads and at runtime it'll use by default NPTL.
 You can force using NPTL at link time as well by adding -L/usr/lib/nptl
to your link line.  When you do this there is no further need to find it
out, you better know it beforehand.
