That depends :) For now, I'd prefer to stay out of mainline, until we're having gcc-trunk with a current GNU libc up'n'running. Until then, I plan to at least break the complete ABI once (drop old syscals and _only_ wire up their modern counterparts.) > Normally we don't care very much about out of tree code, especially > if it adds complexity like this. Sure, but at least mentioning that there's more than only a simple table of function pointers may or may not help to *plan* the code to fit future needs. > But I suspect s390 would need number of arguments anyways. Any they're already merged.
