Hi, Helge Deller recently posted a Linux Test Project test failure on the parisc-linux mailing list: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031030.html I took the code snippet he posted and tried to compile/run that on x86 (no problems) and ia64 (undefined reference to `clone'). This is a "known problem". Email thread from 2003: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ia64&m=105778639326638&w=2 The LTP test case was fixed but not the clone man page. When I was surprised by the link error, first thing I did was "man clone" and got the impression there was a bug in ia64 user space support. But Helge spared me the digging around and pointed me at the clone2 code in the original test case. Anyone working for Intel/HP/Hitachi/SGI/et al care enough to fix the man page as well? This would be a good "student" or "intern" task if someone is looking to contribute to linux without having to know too much. Basically just need to add a reference to "clone2" and indicate which architectures do not support clone(2). thanks, grant - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
