I might be wrong, but I think that this is a bug in glibc; I understand why it can't provide PAGE_SIZE, but it ought to provide NBPG if it's going to bother to provide "struct user" (a purely legacy format) at all. It seems like a hideous hack to have to try to compile NBPG in autoconf. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
