I seem to remember having to take extra care with how the three MIPS ABIs wire the syscalls to get it right in glibc, but I take it then this has been now addressed reliably enough for the glibc not to care how exactly <asm/unistd.h> has been arranged. Given my current level of involvement with the MIPS architecture I take your word for it and will not investigate it any further. Thanks for your input. Maciej
