I think what Ulrich is getting at is your change will break existing code which already does: #ifdef __powerpc__ syscall(SYS_foo, 0, my_64bit_arg); #else syscall(SYS_foo, my_64bit_arg); #endif I don't know of any such code, but it might be out there. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
