Hm? In my Mandrake /lib/tls libraries are not used when using 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1, instead the libraries from /lib/i686 are loaded.
One can check that by running "ldd vdr" and "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 ldd 
vdr" and comparing the library paths.

Though, when I run /lib/i686/libc.so.6, /lib/libc.so.6 and 
/lib/tls/libc.so.6, they all say "Thread-local storage support 
included." That probably means that it was compiled the same time, and 
is now located at /lib/tls/libc.so.6? Or does the /lib/tls have any 
relation to Thread Local Storage support?

In my system (Mandrake Cooker) the difference between 
/lib/(i686/)libc.so.6 and /lib/tls/libc.so.6 outputs is that 
/lib/(i686/)libc.so.6 has "linuxthreads-0.10 by Xavier Leroy" and 
"libthread_db work sponsored by Alpha Processor Inc", when 
/lib/tls/libc.so.6 has "Native POSIX Threads Library by Ulrich Drepper 
et al".

Every program uses /lib/tls/libc.so.6, except VDR which uses (with 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL) /lib/i686/libc.so.6.

I assume you are using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1?
