After talking to Ley Foon Tan (Altera's kernel maintainer, in Cc) we've decided to just drop this patch entirely. An architecture port based in the generic syscall ABI is in progress: http://rocketboards.org/gitweb/?p=linux-socfpga-next.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/socfpga-3.12-nios2-ABI I'll work on a new patchset, based in this branch, so we can have strace support for the (soon?) to-be-mainlined Nios-II arch.
