Or just build it? I am just re-building it. I believe that this was needed with the previous patches (I think that things like "open" wouldn't allow people to open more than X fd's if they used the libc stuff. Tell me if I am wrong, people)
> Do you have to change gnu/types.h? Thanks. I thought I had checked that. I have updated the page and ftp site.
guys - it really <pisses> me off that we have so many things like: /* Number of descriptors that can fit in an `fd_set'. */ #define __FD_SETSIZE 256 duplicated.
in 60000000 places in the kernel. It should be done somewhere like "limits.h" and then ALL of the other things should link it in.
What is "#define _G_FOPEN_MAX 256" in _G_config.h? Do I need to change it?
