Upgrading glibc is normally a major PITA. > Why don't you just have a private version of the macros? syscall(2) is, again, a horrible botch -- on architectures which requires alignment for register pairs, the extra register buggers up the alignment. One *can* work around it by making the syscall number 64 bits, but I think it's safe to say that no libc does that currently. -hpa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
