Please don't apply Arnd's patch. As I said, all we need is this one-line change in arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h: -SYSX_SPU(sys_select,ppc32_select,ppc_select) +SYSX_SPU(sys_select,ppc32_select,sys_select) Paul. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
