The glibc's syscall number translator script doesn't work with asm-mips/unistd.h as of Linux 2.6 (you could have probably used 2.4 headers instead; I'm not sure if that is compatible with "--enable-kernel=2.6.0", though). A correct fix has been prepared and proposed by Richard Sandiford and is available here: "http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2004-11/msg00097.html";. I would expect this patch to have been applied before 2.3.4, but apparently this hasn't happened. That's regrettable and I fear it's the result of glibc being somewhat inadequately maintained for MIPS/Linux these days, sigh... I'm not sure what the maintenance plan is for the 2.3 branch of glibc, but if 2.3.5 is ever going to happen, the Richard's patch is one of the must-have additions. Maciej
