Can Chris or someone please tell me what is the reason behind leaving __kernel_uid_t == short on x86 architecture, and adding __kernel_uid32_t? To me, it sounds more reasonable to rather make __kernel_uid_t == int and add __kernel_uid16_t == short for binary compatibility things.
As a result of current status of things, 32bit uid support does *not* become visible to the userspace when you rebuild glibc with the new kernel source. To make it take effect, you also need to modify glibc source, and in a rather illogical way.
Am I missing something?
Eugene
