Hi Ulrich, > I've applied the patch now. It should be clear that this is a break of > the ABI from early glibc versions. Yes, Jakub discussed this with me and we came to the conclusion that this is acceptable. We only break if someone uses gcc 3.x with the old ssize_t type of int to compile c++ code and mixes the binaries with code compiled with gcc 3.x with the new ssize_t of long. The if here is that gcc 3.x should only be used with a new libc which has a ssize_t of long. blue skies, Martin
