I'd like to switch klibc to use the 64-bit file ABI thoughout, but it's a considerable porting effort, and I'm trying to figure out how to best manage it. -hpa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
