init_module / delete_module is just a wrapper for the syscalls.
Wouldn't it be just better to remove the wrappers in uClibc-ng and
just use syscall(..) like for all others?

Can you try something like this?


I was also thinking to use syscall directly in all cases. But thought that it might be some reason, which I am missing, for uClibc to use wrapper instead of syscall.

Earlier, I thought that this build failure is affecting uClibc for all architectures but it is only failing for MIPS + uClibc. I did build busybox-1.26.0 for all available external toolchains from Buildroot and it is only failing for MIPS + uClibc. After taking closer look, syscall.h is getting included from dirent.h for MIPS only and dirent.h is included from libbb.h.

MIPS specific dirent.h (./libc/sysdeps/linux/mips/bits/dirent.h) includes syscall.h for checking __NR_getdents64. Can we workout that without syscall.h like other libc and depending on *_OFFSET64 ? Otherwise, I can try to use syscall directly in modutils.c unless I am missing anything.

Thanks,
Rahul
