into marsco.kalmiopsis:/home/nslu2/ref 2005/06/05 15:28:56-07:00 kalmiopsis!jbowler A better patch for the ARMEB ABI change in stat64, after discussion on the uclibc mailing list. This version doesn't damage the 2.4 functionality (the previous patch introduced precisely the inverse error in 2.4 on armeb!) The change is also much more localised (probably won't be accepted by uclibc because it changes a common file, but it's a safe change since it is protected by __ARMEB__).
