The API of the kernel used by the build system is that of the kernel headers. uname returns the *running kernel*, not that of the API available at build time. If APR checks the kernel API using 'uname', I think they are the wrong thing. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
