Ok, here is a patch for sparc32. It seems PowerPC doesn't support
LFS in the moment, but they have to make the same changes if they
support it. Have we more big-endian, 32bit architectures ?
The other syscalls looks ok.

The patch is for glibc 2.1 and 2.2.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
