Thats the one I'm using when I said "I'm in the process of sorting these out so that the utilities are built with the right syscalls for the architectures it now does support... The version I am preparing has updated syscalls".... I appreciate being told about such things, but when I already know about it and have been working on it and I've said so, then telling me something that I just said just shows me you didn't listen to what I said. > This also builds the nice binary for mips so far..

This is not a RC bug, and I'm working on adding the support for architectures that previously did not have it, which is what you want. I'm not working against you here. I dont think that upstream support for these architectures is missing, thats why I am working on fixing this in the package. Previously it did not work, but I know it does and I'm fixing it. I appreciate the help, but I already know this and I already have the patch and I am already working on the fix. You could help me out by not confusing the issue. The original bug report was, "it compiles fine if I remove the debian/rules line which stops it from compiling"... this was put in there for a reason by Ola (although I think its an odd way of dealing with the problem), because the tools didn't work properly on those architectures without an updated syscall patch. A patch that I just received from upstream... yesterday. If you had a patch that solved this problem earlier than I did, then please file that patch and request that hppa/mips support be re-enabled rather than putting the cart before the horse. Micah
