This new patch still doesn't answer my question: why wine can't use the sysarch interface for that? I am really worried by so much requests of adding BSD specific functions. If we want all the FreeBSD libc functions, why don't we use the FreeBSD libc instead of the GNU libc? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
