Hi,
So: What's the latest on asm-generic support on glibc?
I just pulled glibc-2.14 and note that Chris Metcalf's
generic implementation hasn't been folded in yet.
It seems to work well for me, so can we expect it
anytime soon?
Another problem: If I don't define __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED
in the kernel asm/unistd.h then glibc won't build: currently,
I get
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdents.c:105: error: â__NR_getdentsâ undeclared (first use in this function)
A very quick grep tells me that asm-generic defines a getdents64
but that is not what glibc is looking for. Is there any chance
that there are glibc patches floating around somewhere that heal
this and any remaining __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED issues?
