The attached patch helps you run NPTL based IA-32 threaded programs on Itanium. Specifically it: - adds support for new NPTL related system calls - adds support for a per-CPU GDT, just like i386 does - adds support for new clone related flags - Fix clobbering of %ebp (r13) (see process.c) Please review and let me know if you have any comments. -Arun
