I was just writing to Julian about this. It seems like it is actually a bug in the kernel not having it defined in ia64's unistd.h[0] (checking Linus's master branch). [0] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/ia64/include/uapi/asm/un= istd.h Meaning that it wont fail in alpha, but's failing on ia64 because that line is missing. Seems like the right hint, Arjan? -- = Jose Luis Rivas The Debian Project -- http://debian.org --===============2151725858426643571==--
