Somewhere in the past there was a very simple patch (look for "not_cancel") that worked for the 2.3 release of the glibc (Tom wrote that): "If I simply change (in linuxthreads/sysdep/unix/sysv/linux/not-cancel.h) from: # define waitpid_not_cancel(pid, stat_loc, options) \ INLINE_SYSCALL (osf_wait4, 4, pid, stat_loc, options, NULL) to: # define waitpid_not_cancel(pid, stat_loc, options) \ wait4( pid, stat_loc, options, NULL ) all is well - I understand the performance benefits of the inlining, but since x86 is NPTL anyway, perhaps this is an okay solution? I'm guessing that there is an Alpha-related optimizer bug perhaps? Or that the inline_syscall4 in sysdep/unix/alpha/sysdep.h is somehow broken?" Why was this patch never included for stable?
