The obvious way to easily support fds is to use poll, like glibc-2.2 > does. I know it is not easy. But with glibc 2.1, when a user changes NR_OPEN, anything uses RPC won't run, starting with portmap. With my kludge, the machine will run. I understand that most of people want larger NR_OPEN for threads. As long as we can get threads in glibc 2.1 to work with larger NR_OPEN, they should be ok. -- H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)
