Not that it's bad code, but its a significant divergence from upstream, and it doesn't work on sparc32 (and presumably, alpha). Aurora is %ifarch conditionalizing that patch (and one later patch that has to be modified slightly for the old ptrace behavior) in our kernels as well. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
