I just pulled glibc-2.14 and note that Chris Metcalf's generic implementation hasn't been folded in yet. It seems to work well for me, so can we expect it anytime soon? Another problem: If I don't define __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED in the kernel asm/unistd.h then glibc won't build: currently, I get ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdents.c:105: error: ‘__NR_getdents’ undeclared (first use in this function) A very quick grep tells me that asm-generic defines a getdents64 but that is not what glibc is looking for. Is there any chance that there are glibc patches floating around somewhere that heal this and any remaining __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED issues? --linas
