  To: glibc-bugs

eventfd/signalfd were working correctly up to glibc 2.8. Starting with glibc 
2.9, glibc 2.10 and git version, a glibc compiled against >= 2.6.27 kernels 
headers has non functional eventfd/signalfd when used on < 2.6.27 kernels. The 
reason is the inconditional use of the new syscall without trying the old 
syscall.

Note that the 2.6.27 kernel version correspond to the one on x86_64, it varies 
a bit depending on the architecture.

Patch will follow.
