Not even 1. Either those distros are too niche to make an impact yet,
or its users know better.. *shrug*

Something else I've not yet figured out, which I'm almost too scared to
investigate, as it seems to be intentional.

(davej at noodles:davej)$ ldd /bin/ls
    librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4001c000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002d000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4014b000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Yum, threaded ls. (happens on Debian, SuSE and probably other distros)

There are a lot of sick minds at work. And most of them seem to be
writing GNU code.
