I assume that patch will show up in upstream kernel as well at some point soon. Instead of adding yet another arch to prctl package, I would rather change it to "Architecture: any" since prctl should build on any architecture and modify prctl source code to print better error message if prctl() syscall fails to indicate the kernel might not support this feature. -- Khalid Aziz [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
