Your patch looks good; should you wipe the GLIBC_2.1 version > also? sys_errlist in glibc 2.0 is naked. We gave it a version of GLIBC_2.0 when versioning was implemented and we had to increase the size of sys_errlist. We gave it a new version, GLIBC_2.1. Now sys_errlist is changed again for some arches. That is where GLIBC_2.3 came from. For mips, the first supported glibc version after 2.0 is 2.2. That turns GLIBC_2.1 into GLIBC_2.2 for mips. Since mips's sys_errlist is huge in 2.2, there is no need to change it in 2.3. H.J.
