AFAIK, NPTL hasn't changed any signaling stuff.  The Futex api doesn't have
anything to do with signals.  If you wan't a signal to go to a specific thread
then you either have to use a signaling api that can specify a particular thread
as a target or else you have to set up the per thread signal masks so that only
one thread can get the signal.
