We do have a number of other inlined functions in glibc, e.g. memcpy() and friends in <bits/string.h> (not for MIPS, actually, but for other hosts), yet it does not make glibc SVR4 incompatible. Of course we always provide non-inlined versions of such functions as well -- check with objdump if unsure. Note they are *extern* inline. > The need for kernel emulated test_and_set() in 64bit kernel is not obvious > yet, and hopefully will never come. Agreed. -- + Maciej W.
