There's currently a mess with syscall numbers on the PPC arch, partially because the syscall userd by MOL was never "reserved" in the kernel tree, because I did my own hacking on special syscalls and forgot to remove my added syscalls from my released pre9/pre10 kernels, and partially because of some miscommunication when the LFS patches were applied. This should be sorted out soon. (BTW. Cort ? Any answer about my need for 4 reserved syscalls ?) Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
