Let me first say that I really love where this is going and would love to see more of this work. Will this work with older kernels as well? Meaning: Can I compile today's user land programs with a new glibc and Kernel 3.10? My reading of the patch assumes it does but I would like to hear that you tested it. The patch itself looks fine, thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
