You said you were using OpenSuSE. I haven't heard of any problems with using NPTL-builds on that platform, if it is reasonably recent. If there were problems (as there were with early SuSE and Fedora 2.6 kernels) you would want to reconfigure your system to non-NPTL and use the non-NPTL build; otherwise not.
Did you experience problems with the NPTL build?

Read the section "Setting Linux to Use the Old Threading Model" in the POSIX section of the Installation and Migration document. It has instructions for configuring your OS to use the old threading model.
