(fwd) Re: [klibc] Bug#334917: [PATCH] Re: klibc barfs on m68k syscall interface

[maximilian attems <max@stro.at>]

Hello,

It be cool if belows patch could be reviewed by a m68k Maintainer.
It should apply to latest klibc git, which can be found on
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git

klibc is most easiest to compile against a linux-2.6 configured tree with
make  KLIBCKERNELSRC=`pwd`/../linux-2.6

master klibc should built fine on m68k, but is not know to work:
http://bugs.debian.org/334917

thank you.
