Jes> Ok, that makes it even simpler, I will do that then. Thinking about this, I still think we need the patch for glibc-2.2 and maybe glibc-2.3 for compiling with kernels < 2.5.x? Though I'd probably just say we should take the hit for people using 2.4 kernels with glibc-2.3. The fast syscall support isn't going into glibc-2.2. I assume some of the BuzzwordCompliantServer packages from various distributions are going to stick to glibc-2.2 and kernel-2.4.x for a while. Back to mangling glibc-2.3. Cheers, Jes
