Painful question, but I feel it needs to be asked. -------- Original Message -------- From: hpa at zytor dot com <sourceware-bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: October 6, 2018 10:17:11 AM PDT To: hpa@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [Bug libc/10339] Terminal interface: non-standard baudrates are not handled properly on Linux-systems https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10339 --- Comment #12 from hpa at zytor dot com <hpa at zytor dot com> --- ... Current we support a minimum of 3.2 kernel and the following architectures (using Linux terminology): alpha ... So on the kernel side we have done some archaeology and found out that Alpha is the ONLY architecture which hasn't supported these features as far back as 3.2. It seems Alpha was left out because of lack of clarity between the Alpha and tty maintainers, which then never got addressed. Alpha is a historic architecture at this point -- the last Alpha chip was the EV7z which was released 14 years ago. I am wondering to what extent anyone cares enough to worry about support for new glibc on old Alpha kernels at this point; I kind of suspect the number of Alpha Linux users can be counted on two hand's fingers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
