Hi glibc developers,
we've received the appended bug report about a problem on PowerPC.
Could somebody look into it and send a fix?
IMHO, this is a bug in the Linux kernel. Could the originator of the
bug report report this to linux-kernel?
The "..." for the fourth argument in the semctl() has been there since
Issue 4 of the X/Open specification. Until this is fixed in the
kernel, we could provide a wrapper for semctl().
Of course, people who care about about portability to older System V
systems should probably provide the fourth argument.
