Your patch is definately the correct way to go. When I initially recommended that Ryan take the issue to the list I didn't realize it was a function descriptor issue. Unfortunately it falls behind the following changes: - Sysdep-cancel support. - Building glibc without severe testsuite failures - Handing Roland the ABI files for HPPA. After this I plan to follow up on the required function descriptor changes, all along the lines of the current ia64/ppc64 implementation. Current HPPA glibc status: - New LinuxThreads that doesn't require explicit alignment of locks. - 2.3.2 builds, various failures. - Fixing sysdep-cancel support. I should start sending the patches back here soon. c.
