yann@402: 
yann@402: I am getting compiler errors when trying to compile glibc 2.3.2 using
yann@402: the kernel headers from linux 2.6.5.  The headers from linux 2.6.3 work
yann@402: fine.
yann@402: 
yann@402: I've traced the cause of the problem to a change made in
yann@402: ./include/asm-x86_64/unistd.h in the 2.6.4 release.
