We're fairly close to supporting these (they're not libc functions but syscalls), but it will require some surgery in our current LDT support functions, as they use copyin/out rather than uiomove, and as such you can't call them as-is from within the Linux emulator. This is all just brute-force work; if you have a little time to spare, diffs would be appreciated... -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
